      <Abstract>Introduction: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), the new dominance of primary biliary cirrhosis, is a cholestatic disease of autoimmune etiology and represents the leading cause of intra-hepatic cholestasis. Treatment is mainly based on ursodeoxycholic acid. The biological response to treatment is the main predictor of survival without liver transplantation. The Globe-score has been recently validated as the main prognostic factor. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study carried out in our department collating all cases of PBC followed in consultation. The aim of our work is to research the predictors of poor response to UDCA. Results: 46 patients were collected. The mean age of the patients was 58.82 years, with a predominance of women (n = 43, 93.5%). 34.78% of patients were in the stage of cirrhosis. Anti-M2 mitochondria antibodies were positive in 44 patients (95.65%). An overlap syndrome was found in 11 patients (23.9%). Treatment was based on UDCA combined with corticosteroid therapy and immunosuppressant for overlap syndrome. A biochemical response at 1 year of treatment according to the Paris II criteria was found in 47.8%. The average value of the globe score was 1.35. A score greater than 0.30 was objectified in 20 cases (43.47%). Nineteen cirrhotic patients (41.30%) had a globe score&gt; 0.30. Factors associated with poor response to therapy were: stage of decompensated cirrhosis, elevated pre-therapy total bilirubin greater than 30 g / l and hypoalbunemia less than 35 g / l. The study of the correlation between Globe score and Paris II showed a strong and significant association with a correlation coefficient estimated at 67%. The Paris II score was significantly correlated with the response to treatment (p = 0.001). Conclusion: In accordance with the data in the literature, the globe-score and Paris II are two similar predictive means for evaluating the response at 1 year of treatment in Moroccan context.</Abstract>
