Abstract
More than 25% of patients with biliary atresia survive at least 20 years without liver transplantation in The Netherlands. Women with biliary atresia have a reduced perception of their health, compared with control patients. Twenty percent of long-term survivors are symptom-free, without clinical or ultrasonographic signs of cirrhosis or portal hypertension.
