At least 70% of children with biliary atresia will undergo liver transplantation, 50% of them by age 2 years.DefinitionBiliary atresia is a progressive idiopathic, necroinflammatory process that may involve a segment or the entire extrahepatic biliary tree. Even with appropriate, timely surgical intervention, it is often an unrelenting inflammatory process.History

Late referral, delayed diagnosis , and untimely treatment result in liver cirrhosis and liver-related death. British Columbia offers screening for biliary atresia by way of an infant stool colour card provided to every family following birth. Pale-coloured stools and persistent jaundice within the newborn’s first 30 days of life is considered suspicious for biliary atresia and requires medical attention.KEY MESSAGES |Read Disclaimer1Although

Clinical practice guidelines for biliary atresia in Japan: A secondary publication of the abbreviated version translated into English The purpose of this study was to prepare clinical practice guidelines for biliary atresia according to the Medical Information Network Distribution Service (MINDS) Handbook for Clinical Practice Guideline Development 2014. The guideline drafting group determined 25 atresia were successfully created using procedures recommended by the MINDS. It is expected that these guidelines will be used worldwide, and that the standardization of biliary atresia treatment will improve treatment outcomes.

Biomarkers in biliary atresia - an elusive promise of predicting outcome. Research on biomarkers in BA promises to predict and change outcomes in BA. This goal is still unrealized at the moment. The study by Kamp et al attempts to understand the drivers of fibrosis and elucidate the role of amyloid-related genes in the pathophysiology of BA. Based on this, they attempt to predict outcomes in BA

Liver Mitochondrial Morphology and Gene Expression as Markers of Liver Reserve: Prognostic Implications for Native Liver Survival in Biliary Atresia. Hepatocyte mitochondrial morphology and gene expression were compared between biliary atresia (BA), infantile cholestasis (IC), and normal liver (NL) as prognostic indicators. Specimens of liver at portoenterostomy (PE) for BA, from intrahepatic

Pediatric living donor liver transplantation for small infants with biliary atresia using interposition portal vein grafts, multi-center cohort study. Despite multiple techniques, portal vein (PV) inflow reconstruction during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for patients with biliary atresia (BA) and small-diameter PV remains a challenge. The use of PV interposition grafts has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate complications and reinterventions. We conducted a retrospective multi-center cohort study of patients under 3 years of age (n=85) undergoing LDLT for biliary atresia using PV interposition grafts. Our primary outcome was PV complications after LDLT, and secondary outcomes included long-term PV patency and death-censored graft survival. LDLT was performed on 85

Transfer learning method for prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of biliary atresia. Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare and severe congenital disorder with a significant challenge for prenatal diagnosis. This study, registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200059705), aimed to develop an intelligent model to aid in the prenatal diagnosis of BA. To develop and evaluate this model, fetuses

Development of an artificial intelligence-based multimodal diagnostic system for early detection of biliary atresia. Early diagnosis of biliary atresia (BA) is crucial for improving patient outcomes, yet remains a significant global challenge. This challenge may be ameliorated through the application of artificial intelligence (AI). Despite the promise of AI in medical diagnostics, its

Prediction of Native Liver Survival in Patients With Biliary Atresia 20 Years After the Kasai Procedure. To establish risk models for long-term native liver survival (NLS) in patients with biliary atresia. In this retrospective study, we analyzed data from 1792 patients registered in the Japanese Biliary Atresia Registry. Using multivariate logistic regression, we created predictive models

Increased serum GM-CSF at diagnosis of biliary atresia is associated with improved biliary drainage. The immune heterogeneity of biliary atresia (BA) presents a challenge for development of prognostic biomarkers. This study aimed to identify early immune signatures associated with biliary drainage after Kasai Portoenterostomy (KPE). Serum samples, liver slides, and clinical data were obtained with future biliary drainage in patients with biliary atresia. Characterization of macrophage-associated immune networks provides novel insight into early disease mechanism that may impact patient outcomes. Early prognostic biomarkers markers in biliary atresia can help in patient stratification for medical and surgical therapies.

Serum bile acids early after portoenterostomy are predictive for native liver survival and portal hypertension in biliary atresia. To compare the predictive value of serum bile acids on native liver survival (NLS) and portal hypertension (PH) at various time points early after portoenterostomy (PE) in biliary atresia (BA). This was a retrospective observational study. Serum bilirubin and bile

Real-world Multi-institutional Data From the Midwest Pediatric Surgery Consortium (MWPSC) to Assess the Effect of Delayed Kasai Procedure on Biliary Drainage in Patients With Biliary Atresia. Early Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE) for infants with biliary atresia (BA) increases the chance of transplant-free survival (TFS). However, early timing of KPE is not consistently achieved in the United

The Age-stratified Cost of Biliary Atresia: A MarketScan®-Based Cost Analysis. Biliary atresia (BA) is the leading cause of childhood liver failure requiring liver transplantation. Early diagnosis and Kasai portoenterostomy (KP) offer the only opportunity to avoid liver failure and transplantation. This study aimed to assess BA healthcare costs in the United States. We hypothesized that patients

Accumulation of altered serum bile acids predicts liver injury after portoenterostomy in biliary atresia. Little is known on the mechanism of liver injury mediated by bile acids following Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE) in biliary atresia (BA). We sought to quantify individual serum bile acids, 7-alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (C4), and fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) after KPE and to evaluate and aberrantly increased liver FGF19. Biliary atresia (BA), a fibro-obliterating biliary disease of infants, remains the most common indication for pediatric liver transplantation caused by rapid progression of liver injury. To identify predictive biomarkers of disease progression and to elucidate the pathophysiology of BA liver injury, we profiled serum bile acids and studied their liver metabolism after

BA-ECM Score: Automated Quantification of Liver Fibrosis Architecture in Biliary Atresia with Potential for Prognostic Value - A Pilot Study. To quantify liver fibrosis in infants with biliary atresia (BA) through automated analysis of collagen extracellular matrix (ECM) ultrastructure in index liver biopsies and use a composite fibrosis architecture score to predict native liver survival

Guidance for the Primary Care Provider in Identifying Infants With Biliary Atresia by 2-4 Weeks of Life: Clinical Report. This report helps pediatric primary care providers quickly identify infants with biliary atresia, which has the potential to improve outcomes and reduce need for liver transplant. The strategy is intended to be used between 2 and 4 weeks of life at the "By 1 month" well-child

Incidence of biliary atresia in the United States before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The etiology of biliary atresia (BA) is unclear and potentially involves viral triggers. We aimed to compare the incidence of BA in the United States before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, focusing on potential associations with viral circulation disruptions caused

Butyrate inhibits histone deacetylase 2 expression to alleviate liver fibrosis in biliary atresia. Previous studies have found a reduction in butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut microbiota of infants with biliary atresia (BA). Butyrate is also an important inhibitor of histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2). This study aims to explore how butyrate alleviates liver fibrosis in BA through HDAC2
