[Epub ahead of print] van der Doef HPJ, van Rheenen PF, van Rosmalen M, Rogiers X, Verkade HJ; pediatric liver transplantation centers of Eurotransplant. Abstract INTRODUCTION: Liver transplantation (LTx) is the standard treatment for biliary atresia (BA) patients with end-stage liver disease. The prognosis after LTx has steadily improved, but overall prognosis of BA-patients is also determined by mortality before LTx. We aimed to quantify mortality in young BA-patients on the Eurotransplant waiting list and to determine the effect of disease severity and age at time of listing on pretransplant mortality.
