A retrospective study of the ideal operation time for preterm biliary atresia patients.

According to the present study, the ideal KPE time for preterm BA infants should meet two conditions: chronological age ≤ 90 days and corrected age ≤ 60 days. The groups with a chronological age ≤ 60 days, and chronological age > 60 days and corrected age ≤ 60 days show similar postoperative effects.
