Fig. 3From: Number of cholangitis episodes as a prognostic marker to predict timing of liver transplantation in biliary atresia patients after Kasai portoenterostomyComparison 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.Back to article page
