Comparison of the number of cholangitis episodes in biliary atresia patients with and without liver transplantation. The number of cholangitis episodes did not differ between the non-liver transplantation (LT) group (n = 144), with a mean of 1.8 episodes (95% CI 1.5–2.0) and the LT group (n = 66), with a mean of 2.2 episodes (95% CI 1.8–2.7), 1 year after Kasai portoenterostomy (KP), but did significantly differ at 2 years after the operation, with a mean of 2.2 episodes (95% CI 1.9–2.4) in the non-LT group (n = 132) and 3.5 episodes (95% CI 2.5–4.4) in the LT group (n = 38), P < 0.001.
