Abstract
BACKGROUND: Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare condition that meets the criteria for neonatal screening. Taiwan province of China led the way in BA screening during the 1990s by introducing a neonatal stool color card (SCC), which proved effective in facilitating early BA diagnosis and improving outcomes. Another commonly studied BA screening approach is serum bilirubin measurement. Several European countries have also begun implementing BA screening initiatives, although slowly. In this study, we evaluate BA screening strategies across Europe.
