Over half are willing to join trials, but none have participated. We need more pediatric PSC research! #Pediatrics

Biliary atresia is the most common reason for liver transplant in kids

There is great hope that modifying the gut microbiome could improve outcomes before and after Kasai

This longitudinal study from Vandana Jain is a giant leap forward

The impact factor for @HepCommJournal is 5.6

This is a 10% increase (5.1 in 2023), at a time when virtually all US journal impact factors fell. It is a sign of growth and a solid position. It is also due to the way that @jlouissaint89 promoted papers from before our teams tenure

Up to 25% of children needing a critical endoscopic procedure are admitted to children’s hospitals that don’t offer it. Research from @EPeritoMD and @sagarjpathak shows how insurance, location and race are linked to disparities in accessing advanced care. https://t.co/ogX2oPMDF4
