The Journal of pediatrics, 2004•ElsevierIn biliary atresia, progression of hepatic fibrosis before the Kasai portoenterostomy may
explain why age is a major determinant of survival of the native liver. Blinded fibrosis scoring
of surgical liver biopsies demonstrated that age and fibrosis correlate. Those biopsies with
severe fibrosis predicted significantly worse survival.
