In a retrospective cohort study, we report that a GGT decrease of >25% within 1 year of diagnosis of pediatric-onset PSC is associated with a lower occurrence of complications within 5 years. Our results provide further support for the recently hypothesized predictive value of first-year GGT change in predicting the disease course in pediatric-onset PSC.
