Revisiting long-term prognostic factors of biliary atresia: A 20-year experience with 81 patients from a single center

Abstract

A younger age at diagnosis is strongly associated with surgical success in BA. Surgical success, the prothrombin time (INR) at presentation, and liver pathology are independent prognostic factors affecting the long-term outcomes in patients with BA. Therefore, timely diagnosis and early referral to experienced surgical centers are crucial for optimal management and favorable long-term results in BA.
