Table 3. Survival characteristics in infants with biliary atresia.
Intervention | Total cases | Died | Survived | Survival rate, % |
Mean years of survival (CI†) | Mean follow-up time in years* ± SD‡ | p-value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Kasai procedure alone | 13 | 6 | 7 | 53.8 | 11.2 (6.26–15.77) | 6.4 ± 5.3 | 0.422 |
Kasai and liver transplant | 10 | 2 | 8 | 80.0 | 23.1 (16.64–29.56) | 10.7 ± 8.1 | |
Primary liver transplant | 3 | 1 | 2 | 66.7 | 10.9 (2.25–19.54) | 5.8 ± 9.0 | |
Overall | 26 | 9 | 17 | 65.4 | 18.6 (13.52–23.70) | 8.0 ± 7.0 |
*Follow-up time is measured from the initial treatment date i.e., Kasai or liver transplant until the event (death) occurs or study end date; †95% CI.
