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.
