Article Synopsis
- This study examined how effective a stool color card (SCC) is at distinguishing biliary atresia (BA) from non-BA in infants in resource-limited countries.
- Conducted between January 2019 and July 2022, it involved 144 infants with jaundice, finding that 73.6% had BA, with a significant difference in the occurrence of pale stool between BA and non-BA cases.
- The results indicated that SCC has good sensitivity (83%) for diagnosing BA but lacks sufficient specificity, suggesting it can be used for early screening to ensure timely medical referral.
