We evaluated long term outcomes in infants born between 1992 and 2002 with cholestatic liver disease (CLD) who underwent successful liver transplantation (LT). A total of 160 children with CLD were identified: 68 had developmental assessments before and after LT of whom 32 were excluded because they were followed up elsewhere; 16/36 consented to complete measures of IQ, anxiety, depression, health related quality of life (HRQoL), and a habits/employment survey. Illness severity and developmental attainment prior to LT were comparable with the 32 excluded and 20 patients who declined to take part.

- The study aimed to characterize acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in children at Birmingham Children's Hospital, focusing on its prevalence, triggers, and outcomes.
- Over a span of 20 years, 24 children were identified with ACLF; 75% of these cases resulted in death, while 36% underwent liver transplantation, with some also dying post-surgery.
- Key triggers for ACLF included various forms of sepsis and gastrointestinal bleeding, and those who died exhibited more intensive medical interventions like vasopressor use and ventilation compared to survivors.
