Background: Biliaryatresiaisararedistractivecholangiopathyinchildhoodandthemostcommoncauseof livertransplantation in pediatrics. Present study is the first report of biliary atresia and its incidence and outcome from northwest of Iran. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, all patients with biliary atresia admitted to the Tabriz Children’s Hospital from March 2006 to March 2016were included. Demographical, clinical and preclinical data of all patients are extracted from the hospital records. Information about the outcome after Kasai portoenterostomy was gathered by reviewing the progress notes or by phone call from the parents. The Mann-Whitney U and chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests were used for comparison of continuous and categorical variables respectively. Survival curves and tables, Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression were used for survival analysis. Results: Theincidencerateof biliaryatresiawas1/13280livebirths. Isolatedformof biliaryatresiawasseenin85.1% of cases. Splenic malformation was not observed in our patients. The rate of successful Kasai Portoenterostomy was 42.9%. Survival analysis showed that 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10-year native liver survival rate was 73%, 56%, 54%, 40% and 31%, respectively. Median overall survival rate was 36 months [95%CI: 2.89 - 69.1]. Successful Kasai Portoenterostomy and clearance of jaundice was the only factor that affected survival rate.
