METHODS: Parents of children (6-16 years) with BA were included in this cross-sectional study. We used validated questionnaires to assess parental QoL, stress, and anxiety levels. We compared the results with reference data from the general population and determined associated factors using generalized linear mixed model analysis. Results are given as mean ± SD or median [min-max]. RESULTS: We included 61 parents of 39 children (aged 11 ± 3 years). Thirty-one children (79%) had undergone a liver transplantation (LTx). Parents reported reduced family activities (88 [8-100] vs 95 [30-100], P = 0.002) and more emotional worry (83 [17-100] vs 92 [95-100], P
