Summary
This study looked at 200 infants with biliary atresia to find the best age for Kasai portoenterostomy surgery. Researchers grouped babies by their age at surgery (from under 28 days to up to 120 days) and tracked their liver health for two years. The goal was to see which age group had the highest chance of surviving with their own liver, without needing a transplant. The results will help doctors and families choose the best time for this critical operation.
