Procedure Costs Associated With Management of Biliary Strictures in Pediatric Liver Transplant Recipients in the Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation (SPLIT) Registry
Biliary stricture management costs were highest in patients requiring treatment for recurrence or surgical biliary revision and lowest earlier post-transplant, suggesting that more aggressive management upfront may optimize costs. Future work will explore practice variation and cost-effective strategies to achieve OBO.
