Abstract
The survival rate of children with biliary atresia (BA) after liver transplantation (LT) is significantly improved, and their quality of life has attracted much attention.This study aimed to investigate the cognition and its influencing factors in children with BA after primary living donor LT (BA-pLDLT) during infancy. Children with BA were recruited 6 months after pLDLT at Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (2018–2022). Demographic and clinical data were collected from the health information system. Cognition was assessed using the Chinese version of the Griffiths Mental Development scale (GMDS-C). Multivariate linear regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of their cognitive function. In total, 57 children with BA-pLDLT, aged 5.00(3.90–9.30) months at transplantation and 25.00(14.00-60.80) months at evaluation were included. The general developmental quotient (89.02 ± 12.07) and motor, language, eye-hand coordination, performance, and practical reasoning quotients of these children were significantly lower than the normative mean values of GMDS-C(P < 0.05). Of the 57 children, 16 (28.07
