PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 436 person years in the Liver Transplant Group and 386 person-years in the Without Transplant Group

Interval 10.4 to 41.4

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Neuropsychological testing was conducted once for each patient at baseline during the study on age-matched norms for the specific test used.

Population: * Full Scale IQ * WPPSI - Children 3-5 years of age * WASI - Persons 6+ years of age

Neuropsychological tests were based on age-matched norms for the specific test used. All neurocognitive scores have been standardized to the following: norm, mean of 100, and sd of 15. In all tests higher scores are interpreted as higher functions. The WPPSI and WASI were combined to create a single measure of Full-Scale IQ. Full-Scale IQ * Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scales of Intelligence, 4th edition (WPPSI-IV: Children 3-5 years of age) * Wechsler Abbreviated Scales of Intelligence, 1st and 2nd editions (WASI-I \& II: Persons 6+ years of age)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Quality of life testing was conducted and reported at baseline for each patient during the study.

Population: Patient/family reported quality of life using PedsQL quality of life measuremet tool (version 4)

Quality of life assessments are self-reported by participating patients or by their parent/caretaker using the following reports: Pediatric Family Impact (PedsQL), Version 4 is reported as a total score All were scored on a 0-100 scale. Higher scores indicated a better health-related quality of life
