Question: Are bacterial infections associated with lower native liver survival in children with biliary atresia (BA)?
Finding: Children with BA and proven/suspected bacterial infections, including cholangitis, had significantly lower native liver survival and higher rates of liver transplantation or death.
Meaning: Early recognition, appropriate management, and prevention of bacterial infections may improve native liver survival in children with BA-related cirrhosis.

Question: What is the value of the diagnostic code in identifying cases of biliary atresia in a large administrative database?
Finding: The diagnostic code’s accuracy and sensitivity are acceptable for identifying algorithm-defined cases. A history of pale stool and a presumed diagnosis of biliary atresia prior to referral added value.
Meaning: The addition of clinical data to the diagnostic code significantly increased the diagnostic yield.
