And Diffusion

Extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA), characterized by obliteration or discontinuity of extrahepatic bile ducts, is still the major cause for liver transplantation among children nowadays [1]. All untreated children eventually die due to complications resulting from portal hypertension and liver cirrhosis. The exchange and diffusion of information that can make the diagnosis of EHBA easier is of utmost importance, since prognosis is improved when patients are surgically treated by portoenterostomy in the first 2 months of life. JMS 2014;17(1):39-40

In August 1983, a bulletin, Liver Transplantation,1 printed and distributed under the aegis of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), was mailed to physicians throughout the United States. The bulletin was the product of a concensus panel convened to consider offered evidence (expert presentation of the available data) about liver transplantation. The panel was composed of a singular assortment of individuals including physicians in private practice, medical and pediatric department chairmen, a dean, a hospital director, and a person with a PhD in mathematics and statistics. Whatever the validity of their transplantation conclusions, the panel's recommendations about extrahepatic biliary atresia appear arbitrary and suspect, if not downright erroneous.
