Outcomes of Alagille syndrome following the Kasai operation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Purpose Infants with Alagille syndrome (AGS) frequently develop neonatal cholestasis, and some AGS infants who suspected of biliary atresia subsequently undergo the Kasai operation with the diagnosis of biliary atresia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the Kasai operation on liver and patient outcomes among AGS patients, using a meta-analysis.
