Background & Aims: Surgical treatment with Kasai portoenterostomy has improved the prognosis for patients with biliary atresia, although most patients ultimately require liver transplantation. Well-described patients with long-term, transplant-free survival are scarce; we assessed liver status and health perception among Dutch patients who survived 20 years after therapy and investigated whether the rate of transplant-free survival increases with time.
Methods: By using the Dutch national database for biliary atresia, we identified 104 patients, born between 1977 and 1988.
