Secondary objectives were to assess the diagnostic accuracy of TE in distinguishing BA from other causes of neonatal cholestasis (NC) and the correlation of preoperative LSM score with surgical outcomes 3 months post Kasai portoenterostomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Infants under 6 months with conjugated hyperbilirubinemia (July 2022\u2013February 2024) were cases and age- and gender-matched healthy infants served as controls.
