[PMID: 39288676 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejon.2024.102687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 08/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize subgroups with similar nutritional status trajectories during the 6-month period after pancreatectomy and to identify demographic and clinical characteristics influencing changes in nutritional status in each subgroup. METHODS This longitudinal prospective study recruited 112 patients with newly diagnosed pancreatic tumor from an outpatient pancreatic surgical department of a medical center in northern Taiwan between September 2016 and April 2019. Patients completed a demographic and clinical characteristics form, the Mini Nutritional Assessment scale, and the Symptom Severity Scale prior to surgery (T0), 3 months after surgery (T1), and 6 months after surgery (T2). Latent class growth analysis was used to investigate the trajectories of nutritional status. Generalized estimating equations were used to identify significant factors influencing each trajectory. RESULTS Two latent groups of nutritional status trajectories were identified. Among 112 patients, 74.11% and 25.89% were classified as having high and low nutritional status trajectories, respectively. High nutritional status was significantly negatively correlated with changes in symptom severity. Low nutritional status was significantly negatively correlated with older age, surgical complications, and changes in symptom severity. CONCLUSIONS Symptom severity has the most significant negative effect on perioperative nutritional status. Older age and surgical complications exert negative effects on perioperative nutritional status among patients with low nutritional status. These findings emphasize the need for nurses to identify at-risk individuals and provide individualized nutritional care to improve nutritional status in this population. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION This study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (trial registration number: NCT02900677; approved date: September 14th, 2016).

Evaluation of five nutritional scores as predictors of postoperative outcome following pancreatic resection: A prospective, single-center study. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2024; 63:635-641. [PMID: 39053696 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2024.07.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients undergoing pancreatic resection are commonly malnourished. It is still unclear whether nutritional scores reliably predict postoperative outcomes after pancreatic resection. This study evaluated whether five commonly used preoperative nutritional screening scores predicted severe complications and length of stay. METHODS Patients scheduled for pancreatic resection (pancreatoduodenectomy, distal and total pancreatectomy) at a national referral center for pancreatic surgery from September 2022 to June 2023 were prospectively screened for malnutrition with MNA, MUST, SGA, SNAQ, and NRS2002 scores. Postoperative complications were classified using the Clavien-Dindo classification. #NCT05608538. RESULTS Three hundred patients were enrolled, including 168 pancreatoduodenectomies (56%), 102 distal pancreatectomies (34%), and 30 total pancreatectomies (10%). Final pathology revealed malignancy in 203 cases (67.7%). When applying the scores, the proportion of patients malnourished or at risk of malnutrition ranged from 21.7% for SGA to 79.3% for NRS2002. After adjusting for selected confounders, only an MNA <17 was associated with severe postoperative complications (OR 8.39, 95%CI [1.95-32.31], p = 0.01). MNA, SGA, and SNAQ predicted the length of stay (all p < 0.01), while MNA and SGA also correlated with a higher probability of having a greater heterogeneity in the length of stay (p = 0.04 and 0.002, respectively). DISCUSSION We promote using MNA to detect malnourished patients at risk of severe postoperative complications and longer hospitalization after pancreatic surgery. SGA and SNAQ may also have value in predicting patients who will be hospitalized longer. More prospective studies will be needed to corroborate these findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE Preoperative malnutrition is associated with poor postoperative outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer. This study evaluated the effectiveness of current practice in nutritional support for patients with pancreatic cancer. METHODS Observational multicenter HPB network study conducted at the Isala Clinics Zwolle, Medical Spectrum Twente, Medical Center Leeuwarden, and University Medical Center Groningen between October 2021 and May 2023. Patients with a suspected pancreatic malignancy scheduled for surgery were screened for malnutrition using the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) questionnaire and referred to a dedicated dietician for nutritional support comprising pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, dietary advice, and nutritional supplements to achieve adequate caloric and protein intake. At baseline, 1 day preoperatively, and 3 months postoperatively, the nutritional status and muscle thickness were evaluated. RESULTS The study included 30 patients, of whom 12 (40%) classified as malnourished (PG-SGA ≥ 4) at baseline. Compared to well-nourished patients, malnourished patients were younger, were predominantly female, and had a higher body mass index, despite having lost more body weight in the past 6 months. All malnourished patients and 78% of the well-nourished patients received nutritional support. Consequently, a preoperative increase in caloric and protein intake and body weight were observed. Postoperatively, despite a further increase in caloric intake, a considerable decrease in protein intake, body weight, and muscle thickness was observed. CONCLUSION Malnutrition is prevalent in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. Nutritional support by a dedicated dietician is effective in enhancing patients' preoperative nutritional status. However, postoperative monitoring of adequate nutritional intake in patients could be improved.

Jin J, Xiong G, Peng F, Zhu F, Wang M, Qin R. The ratio of skeletal muscle mass to body mass index combined with inflammatory immune markers to stratify survival of pancreatic cancer after pancreatoduodenectomy. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2024; 50:108355. [PMID: 38703633 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2024.108355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to combine skeletal muscle index and inflammatory immune markers to stratify long-term survival in patients with pancreatic cancer after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS A total of 581 patients with pancreatic cancer underwent PD were included, and divided into the training and validation cohort. Image analysis of computed tomography scans was used to calculate the ratio of skeletal muscle (SM) area to body mass index (BMI). Naples prognostic score (NPS) was calculated from blood-test inflammatory immune markers. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to minimize biases of clinicopathological characteristics. To estimate the overall survival (OS), a nomogram was developed using the training cohort. The predictive accuracy of nomogram was estimated by concordance index (C-index), calibration curve, and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve. RESULTS After PSM analysis, SM/BMI ratio, NPS, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, surgical margin, tumor grade and adjuvant therapy were independent predictors of OS, which were all assembled into nomogram. The SM/BMI ratio was the best single-predictor for 3- and 5-year OS, with an AUC of 0.805 (95% CI: 0.755-0.855) and 0.812 (95% CI: 0.736-0.888), respectively. Harrell's c-index of the nomogram in the training cohort was 0.786 (95% CI: 0.770-0.802), and the area under ROC curve of 1-year, 3- and 5-year OS prediction were 0.869 (95%CI: 0.837-0.901), 0.846 (95%CI: 0.810-0.882) and 0.849 (95%CI: 0.801-0.896). CONCLUSIONS The nomogram based on SM/BMI ratio and NPS had excellent predictive performance, which should be incorporated to conventional risk scores to stratify survival of patients with PDAC after PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative malnutrition is a significant factor in patients with pancreatic tumors undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. The aim of this study was to assess the association between preoperative malnutrition and delayed discharge within a ten-day timeframe and potential correlations between preoperative malnutrition and postoperative surgical complications. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted, recruiting a final sample of 79 patients with benign or malignant cephalic pancreatic tumors from 2015 to 2022. The risk of malnutrition was assessed using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool, while length of hospital stay and relevant clinical data were extracted from clinical documentation. RESULTS The preoperative malnutrition risk was high in 21.52% of the sample, moderate in 36.71%, and low in 41.77%. Body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.007) and postoperative surgical complications (p < 0.001) were significantly correlated with delayed discharge. No statistically significant differences were found between levels of malnutrition risk and delayed discharge (p = 0.122), or postoperative surgical complications (p = 0.874). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative complications and BMI emerge as significant risk factors. The limited sample size may have compromised the collection of homogeneous and significant data. Future studies should evaluate the implementation of personalized nutritional screening tools, nutritional assessment plans, and the involvement of specialized health professionals.

Abstract
Introduction Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) with Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) is the preferred treatment for peritoneal malignancies. This highly complex operation is associated with a high incidence of complications, particularly due to malnutrition. This study aimed to investigate the potential association between preoperative nutritional status and postoperative clinical outcomes in adult cancer patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC for peritoneal malignancy. Methods A retrospective study with 140 adult cancer patients, on parenteral nutrition (PN) (n = 40) and not on PN (n = 100) who underwent CRS with or without HIPEC, was conducted. Results Patients who received PN had significantly longer post-operative, hospital, and ICU LOS than those who did not (p = 0.001). ICU admission was significantly higher in the non-PN receiving group compared to the PN receiving group. When compared to the PN group, the majority of patients not receiving PN were at low risk of malnutrition (91% vs. 75%, p = 0.020), whereas 17.5% of PN patients were at risk of malnutrition during hospitalization. Multiple regression analyses revealed a strong positive relationship between patients with increased risk of malnutrition and ICU LOS (p = 0.047). Discussion Routine preoperative nutrition assessment is essential to identify patients who are at higher nutritional risk, and nutrition support should be provided preoperatively.

Abstract
Introduction The prognostic significance of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery has been shown by many studies but the clinical significance of the CONUT score for postoperative short-term outcomes remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the CONUT score on early postoperative outcomes in patients following major HPB surgery. Method This was a prospective study of 57 patients who underwent major HPB surgery from November 2019 to January 2021 at the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Nepal. Result A total of 57 patients, 25 males and 32 females, were operated on. The number of patients assigned to the normal, mild, and moderate malnutrition groups was 13, 41, and 3, respectively. The high CONUT group (CONUT ³ 2) consisted of 44 patients (77%) and the low CONUT group (CONUT <2) consisted of 13 patients (33%). The overall complications (Clavien-Dindo classification ³1) and major complications (Clavien-Dindo classification ³3) were present in 37 patients (64.9%) and 14 patients (24.6%), respectively. Increased operative time and intraoperative blood loss were associated with an increased incidence of major (OR: 1.01, p: 0.018) and overall (OR: 1.006, p: 0.039) postoperative complications, respectively, in univariate analysis. A high CONUT score was not associated with a higher incidence of overall and major postoperative complications. Conclusion In our study, the preoperative CONUT score did not predict the postoperative morbidity following hepatopancreatobiliary surgery.

The impact of preoperative nutritional status on postoperative outcomes: an insight from Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index in elderly pancreaticoduodenectomy patients. BMC Surg 2024; 24:100. [PMID: 38580988 PMCID: PMC10996270 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-024-02397-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is not uncommon among the elderly undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and is related to increased complications. Previous studies have shown that the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) predicts outcomes in various populations. Nevertheless, the research exploring the correlation between GNRI and postoperative outcomes in PD is scarce. This study aimed to investigate the preoperative malnutrition, as measured by GNRI, on outcomes in elderly patients undergoing PD. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective analysis enrolled 144 elderly patients underwent PD for periampullary tumors from November 2016 to December 2021. Patients were stratified based on the GNRI value: high/moderate nutrition risk (GNRI ≤ 92, N = 54), low nutrition risk (92 < GNRI ≤ 98, N = 35), and no nutrition risk (GNRI > 98, N = 55). Perioperative outcomes and postoperative surgical complications were compared between these groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed on major postoperative complications and prolonged postoperative length of stay (PLOS). RESULTS Patients in the high/moderate risk group were significantly older, with lower BMI (P = 0.012), higher mortality rate (11.1%, P = 0.024), longer PLOS (P < 0.001), and higher incidence of over grade IIIB complications (37.0%, P = 0.001), Univariate and multivariate analyses showed the high/moderate risk GNRI group (OR 3.61, P = 0.032), increased age (OR 1.11, P = 0.014) and operative time over 8 h (OR 3.04, P = 0.027) were significantly associated with increased major postoperative complications. The high/moderate risk GNRI group was also a significant predictor for prolonged PLOS (OR 3.91, P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative GNRI has the potential to be a predictive tool for identifying high-risk elderly patients and monitoring nutritional status preoperatively to improve postoperative surgical outcomes following PD.

Abstract
Background: Pancreatoduodenectomy is a standard surgical procedure for periampullary tumors. With recent improvements in perioperative management, postoperative mortality has decreased significantly in recent years; however, postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is still one of the most prevalent and dangerous complications. The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of malnutrition and the value of predicting POPF in patients with laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the perioperative data of 747 patients undergoing LPD in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, The First Hospital of Jilin University, China. Simultaneously, we analyzed the prevalence rate of malnutrition with three different nutritional assessment scores and explored the independent risk variables for POPF to identify potential predictive value. Results: Malnutrition was observed in 20.1% of patients with the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), 85.0% of patients with the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, and 73.1% of patients with the NRI score. Univariate and multivariate analyses all showed that the risk factors for POPF were pancreatic texture, pancreatic duct diameter, abdominal infection, body mass index (BMI), nomogram-revised risk index (NRI), and PNI. The receiver operating characteristic curve indicated that the BMI/PNI ratio was capable of predicting the occurrence of clinical POPF following LPD, with an area under the curve of 0.708. Conclusions: Compared with no malnourished patients, malnutrition is associated with a higher risk of POPF among patients with LPD. In addition, the BMI/PNI ratio has some predictive value in the development of POPF following LPD.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive malignancy for which the mainstay of treatment is surgical resection, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with PDAC are disproportionately affected by malnutrition, which increases the rate of perioperative morbidity and mortality, as well as reducing the chance of completing adjuvant chemotherapy. This review presents the current evidence for pre-, intra-, and post-operative strategies to improve the nutritional status of PDAC patients. Such preoperative strategies include accurate assessment of nutritional status, diagnosis and appropriate treatment of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, and prehabilitation. Postoperative interventions include accurate monitoring of nutritional intake and proactive use of supplementary feeding methods, as required. There is early evidence to suggest that perioperative supplementation with immunonutrition and probiotics may be beneficial, but further study and understanding of the underlying mechanism of action are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Utilization of preoperative biliary drainage prior to pancreatoduodenectomy for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and obstructive jaundice remains controversial. METHODS All patients that underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma at the authors' institution were analyzed retrospectively to evaluate the effect of endoscopic biliary drainage on postoperative outcomes and long-term survival. Age, gender, ASA-Score, operative time, blood loss, intraoperative transfusion rate, and postoperative complications, including postoperative pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, bleeding, bile fistula, wound infections, sepsis, pulmonary and cardiac complications as well as the need for relaparotomy were analyzed. RESULTS Two hundred eighty-five patients with similar baseline characteristics underwent pancreatoduodenectomy, 151 patients with biliary drainage (group 1) and 134 without drainage (group 2). More than 60% of patients had one or more postoperative complications, without significant difference between the two groups (P=0.140). The overall incidence of pancreatic fistula was 21.75% in both groups (group 1: 19.87% vs. group 2: 23.88%, P=0.659). Wound healing impairment was the only postoperative complication that differed significantly between the two groups (group 1: 24.50% vs. group 2: 8.96%, P<0.001). In multivariate risk analysis, biliary drainage was the only independent risk factor for wound healing impairment (OR 4.126; 95% CI: 1.295-13.143; P=0.017). The median overall survival was similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative endoscopic biliary drainage is associated with an increased risk for wound healing impairment and wound infections. Therefore, biliary drainage should not be used routinely in patients with obstructive jaundice prior to pancreatoduodenectomy.

Abstract
(1) Purpose: to evaluate the impact of age on postoperative short-term and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing curative pancreatic resection for PDAC. (2) Methods: This retrospective single-center study comprised 213 patients who had undergone primary resection of PDAC from January 2000 to December 2018 at the University Hospital of Erlangen, Germany. Patients were stratified according the age into two groups: younger (≤70 years) and older (>70 years) patients. Postoperative outcome and long-term survival were compared between the groups. (3) Results: There were no significant differences regarding inhospital morbidity (58% vs. 67%, p = 0.255) or inhospital mortality (2% vs. 7%, p = 0.073) between the two groups. The median overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were significantly shorter in elderly patients (OS: 29.2 vs. 17.1 months, p < 0.001, respectively; DFS: 14.9 vs. 10.4 months, p = 0.034). Multivariate analysis revealed that age was a significant independent prognostic predictor for OS and DFS (HR 2.23, 95% CI 1.58−3.15; p < 0.001 for OS and HR 1.62, 95% CI 1.17−2.24; p = 0.004 for DFS). (4) Conclusion: patient age significantly influenced overall and disease-free survival in patients with PDAC undergoing primary resection in curative intent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation and immune deficiency predispose surgical patients to infection and adversely affect postoperative recovery. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic ability of inflammation and immune-nutritional markers and to develop a predictive model for high-grade complications after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS This study enrolled 1431 patients undergoing liver resection for primary HCC at a medical center. Preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, prognostic nutritional index, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score, Albumin-Bilirubin score, Fibrosis-4 score, and Aspartate Aminotransferase to Platelet Ratio Index score were assessed. Stepwise backward variable elimination was conducted to determine the factors associated with Clavien-Dindo grade III to V complications within 30-day postoperative period. The predictive model was internally validated for discrimination performance using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS A total of 106 (7.4%) patients developed high-grade complications. Four factors independently predicted a high-grade postoperative complication and were integrated into the predictive model, including NLR (adjusted odds ratio: 1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.19), diabetes mellitus, extent of hepatectomy, and intraoperative blood loss. The AUC of the model was 0.755 (95% CI, 0.678-0.832) in the validation dataset. Using the cutoff value based on Youden's index, the sensitivity and specificity of the risk score were 59.0% and 76.3%, respectively. CONCLUSION Preoperative NLR independently predicted a high-grade complication after resection of HCC. The predictive model allows for identification of high-risk patients and appropriate modifications of perioperative care to improve postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In malnourished patients, postoperative morbidity, hospitalization period, and medical expenses are reportedly to be high. We evaluated the clinical impact of a preoperative nutritional support program (PNSP) among malnourished cancer patients. METHODS For this quasi-experimental study, we enrolled 90 patients who underwent major pancreatobiliary cancer surgery. Malnutrition was defined as at least one of the following: (1) Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) grade B or C; (2) > 10% weight loss within 6 months; (3) body mass index <18.5 kg/m2; and (4) serum albumin level < 3.0 g/dL. Forty-five malnourished patients allocated to the PNSP group received in-hospital PNSP for a median of 6 (4-35) days. In the PNSP group, the nutrition support team calculated the patients' daily nutritional requirements based on their nutritional status and previous day's intake. The supplementation targets were as follows: total calorie intake, 30-35 kcal/kg/day; protein intake, 1.2-1.5 g/kg/day; and lipid intake, 1-1.5 g/kg/day. Patients who did not meet the diagnostic criteria for malnutrition were allocated to the well-nourished group and underwent surgery without receiving the PNSP (n = 45). We compared the perioperative nutritional indices (as measured using PG-SGA), postoperative outcome, and quality of life (QOL) according to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire version 3.0. RESULTS In the PNSP group, the proportion of patients with serum prealbumin <16 mg/dL decreased significantly after PNSP (29.5% vs. 8.9%, p = 0.013). Moreover, patients with PG-SGA grade A had a statistically significant increase (2.2% vs. 50%, p < 0.001). The overall and major complication rates were higher in the PNSP group than in the well-nourished group without significance (51.1%, 33.3%; 42.2%, 26.7%, respectively). However, the overall and major complication rates were similar between the subgroup with PG-SGA improvement after PNSP and the well-nourished group (40.9% vs. 42.2%, p = 0.958; 27.3% vs. 26.7%, p = 0.525, respectively). QOL indicators in the PNSP group were comparable with those in the well-nourished group after PNSP. CONCLUSION PNSP may improve perioperative nutritional status and clinical outcomes among malnourished patients with pancreatobiliary cancer.

Abstract
Objectives We aimed to explore whether body mass index (BMI) and albumin were associated with overall survival (OS) in individuals who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for cancer. Methods Three-hundred twenty-nine consecutive patients who underwent PD for cancer were enrolled from January 2020 to December 2020. All clinicopathological information was extracted based on medical records. The survival follow-ups were regularly performed and ended on June 30, 2021. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional-hazards models were used to assess the association of BMI and albumin with OS. Results Of the 329 patients, 186 (56.5%) were male, and median age at admission was 65.0 (56.0–71.0) years. There were 258 patients (78.4%) with BMI < 25.0 kg/m2 and 89 patients (27.05%) with albumin < 35.0 g/L respectively. In overall cohort, BMI < 25.0 kg/m2 was associated with OS (adjusted HR = 3.516, 95% CI = 1.076–11.492, P = 0.037). In contrast, albumin < 35.0 g/L did not affect OS. Subgroup analysis showed, in patients with pancreas lesion, BMI < 25.0 kg/m2 had a higher risk for OS compared to BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2 (adjusted HR = 3.209, 95% CI = 0.985–10.451, P = 0.048), while albumin < 35.0 g/L was not linked to OS. In patients with lesion in ampulla of Vater, duodenum, or common bile duct, there was no significant association of BMI and albumin with OS. Conclusions BMI, rather than serum albumin, was associated with OS in patients who underwent PD for cancer.

Effect of malnutrition on postoperative results after pancreatic resection: An entropy balancing analysis. Clin Nutr 2022; 41:1781-1786. [PMID: 35816870 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2022.06.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Revised: 06/19/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Malnutrition is a well-recognized risk factor for major surgery-related complications, but the impact of preoperative nutritional therapy is still debated due to a lack of high-level evidence. The study aims to evaluate the role of preoperative malnutrition in the postoperative course of patients who underwent pancreatic resection. METHODS This is a retrospective study involving 488 patients who underwent pancreatic resection. An entropy balance was applied to 134 patients at risk for moderate or severe malnutrition (M/S-MAL) to obtain a cohort equal to 354 patients, with the null or low risk of malnutrition (N/L-MAL). The reweighting scheme was made in two steps. In the 1st reweighting, the two cohorts were homogenized for confounding factors not modifiable. In the 2nd reweighting, the two cohorts were matched for modifiable factors by preoperative dietary support. The entropy balance was evaluated with the d-value. The postoperative results were reported as mean differences (MD) or odds ratio (OR) with a confidence interval at 95% (95 CI). RESULTS The M/S-MAL included patients with lower values of BMI (d < 0.750), hemoglobin (d = 0.671), serum albumin (d = 0.554), total protein (d = 0.381). The M/S-MAL patients were more frequent ECOG 1-2 (d = 0.418), with jaundice (d = 0.445) or back pain (d = 0.366). The pancreaticoduodenectomy (d = 0.440) and vascular resection (d = 0.620) in the M/S-MAL group were performed more frequently. The pancreatic remnant was more often hard (d = 0.527), and the Wirsung duct dilated (d = 0.459) in the N/L-MAL group. The rate of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma was higher in M/S-MAL (d = 0.399). After 1st weighting, M/S-MAL patients have a high comprehensive complication index (CCI) (MD = 5.5; 0.3 to 10.7), were more frequently discharged not at home (OR 2.3; 1.1 to 5.4) with a prolonged mean hospital stay (MD 6.1.1; 0.1 to 12.1, days), After 2nd weighting, the two groups have similar postoperative results. CONCLUSION The correction of malnutrition could play an independent role in reducing the severity of complication, length of stay, and type of discharge in patients who underwent pancreatic resection.

Stool Elastase as an Independent Prognostic Factor in Patients with Pancreatic Head Cancer. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11133718. [PMID: 35807003 PMCID: PMC9267127 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11133718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) have an increased risk of malnutrition, which in turn increases morbidity and mortality and is frequent in pancreatic head cancer. This study aimed to analyze the utility of PEI measured using the stool elastase (SE) level to predict the prognosis of patients with pancreatic head cancer. (2) Methods: Patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer at our institution between 2011 and 2015 were included. Only patients with data on preoperative SE levels were analyzed. Patients were classified into low and high SE groups based on preoperative SE levels (low < 100 µg/g < high). (3) Results: The median preoperative SE level was 67.2 µg/g, and 84 of 143 (58.7%) patients were included in the low SE group. The two groups had significantly different overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS), and the low SE group had a worse prognosis. In multivariate analysis, SE level < 100 µg/g and lymph node metastasis were independent poor prognostic factors for OS and DFS. (4) Discussion: PEI measured using SE levels is an independent prognostic factor in patients with pancreatic head cancer undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Since poor nutritional status may be related to prognosis in patients with low levels of stool elastase preoperatively, aggressive treatment may be required.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:6426.

Abstract
Phase angle (PhA), a bioimpedance parameter, is used to assess the nutrition status and body composition of patients. Patients with pancreatic head cancer often present with body composition changes that relate to adverse outcomes. PhA may be useful to evaluate prognosis in these patients, but data are deficient. We aim to explore the effects of PhA on nutrition evaluation and short-term outcome prediction in these patients. This prospective study included 49 participants with pancreatic head cancer who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). All participants’ nutritional status and postoperative complications were assessed using nutrition assessment tools and the Clavien−Dindo classification method, respectively. Spearman correlation analyses were used to evaluate the association between PhA, nutrition status, and postoperative complications. ROC curves were generated to evaluate the ability of PhA to predict malnutrition and complications and to determine the cutoff value. The PhA values of the nutritional risk group and the malnourished group were significantly lower than those of the well-nourished group (p < 0.05). PhA positively correlated with patients’ nutrition status. Nineteen patients had postoperative complications, and the PhA value of the complication group was significantly lower than that of the non-complication group (4.94 vs. 5.47, p = 0.013). ROC curves showed that the cutoff point of PhA to predict malnutrition was 5.45 (AUC: 0.744), and the cutoff point of PhA to predict postoperative complications was 5.35 (AUC: 0.717). Our study indicates that PhA was associated with nutrition status and could be considered a nutrition assessment tool for pancreatic head cancer patients and predict the postoperative complications of these patients who have undergone PD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW 8.5 to 50% of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients are reported to have preoperative malnutrition. The narrative review identifies the relationship between preoperative malnutrition for TJA patients and postoperative outcomes as well as the use of perioperative nutritional intervention to improve postoperative complications. RECENT FINDINGS Biochemical/laboratory, anthropometric, and clinical measures have been widely used to identify preoperative nutritional deficiency. Specifically, serum albumin is the most prevalent used marker in TJA because it has been proven to be correlated with protein-energy malnutrition due to the surgical stress response. However, there remains a sustained incidence of preoperative malnutrition in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients due to a lack of agreement among the available nutritional screening tools and utilization of isolated laboratory, anthropometric, and clinical variables. Previous investigations have also suggested preoperative malnutrition to be a prognostic indicator of complications in general, cardiac, vascular, and orthopaedic surgery specialties. Serum albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, and total lymphocyte count (TLC) can be used to identify at-risk patients. It is important to employ these markers in the preoperative setting because malnourished TKA and THA patients have shown to have worse postoperative outcomes including prolonged length, increased reoperation rates, increased infection rates, and increased mortality rates. Although benefits from high-protein and high-anti-inflammatory diets have been exhibited, additional research is needed to confirm the use of perioperative nutritional intervention as an appropriate treatment for preoperative TJA patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with pancreatic cancer suffer from metabolic dysregulation, which can manifest in clinical malnutrition. Because a portion of these patients require cancer-resective surgery, we evaluate the impact of malnutrition in patients undergoing pancreatic resection using a national database. METHODS The 2011-2017 National Inpatient Sample was used to isolate cases of pancreatic resection (partial/total pancreatectomy and radical pancreaticoduodenectomy), which were stratified using malnutrition. A 1:1 nearest-neighbor propensity-score matching was applied to match the controls to the malnutrition cohort. End points include mortality, length of stay (LOS), hospitalization costs, and postoperative complications. RESULTS Following the match, there were 2108 with malnutrition and an equal number without; from this, those with malnutrition had higher mortality (4.7% vs 3.04%; P = 0.007; odds ratio [OR], 1.57; 95% CI, 1.14-2.17), longer LOS, and higher costs. Regarding complications, malnourished patients had higher bleeding (5.41% vs 2.99%; P < 0.001; OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.36-2.54), wound complications (3.75% vs 1.57%; P < 0.001; OR, 2.45; 95% CI, 1.62-3.69), infection (7.83% vs 3.13%; P < 0.001; OR, 2.63; 95% CI, 1.96-3.52), and respiratory failure (7.45% vs 3.56%; P < 0.001; OR, 2.18; 95% CI, 1.65-2.89). In multivariate analyses, those with malnutrition had higher mortality (P = 0.008; adjust OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.12-2.14). CONCLUSION Those with malnutrition had higher mortality and complications following pancreatic resection; given these findings, it is important that preoperative nutrition therapy is provided to minimize the surgical risks.

Abstract
Purpose The measurement of stool elastase (SE) level is useful for evaluating pancreatic exocrine function. This study aimed to determine the risk factors for severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), and analyze serial changes in nutritional markers and weight based on the SE level. Methods Among patients who underwent PD for periampullary disease, patients whose preoperative and postoperative SE levels were measured were included in the study. The deteriorated (exocrine function) group comprised patients whose SE levels decreased from ≥100 µg/g preoperatively to <100 µg/g postoperatively. Patients whose weight 12 months postoperatively was greater than that 3 months postoperatively were classified into the weight-recovery group. Results Of the 202 included patients, the deteriorated group had a higher incidence of preoperative SE level above 200 µg/g, benign pathology, and the presence of a clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula than the maintained group. Patients who did not undergo weight recovery had a higher rate of history of adjuvant radiotherapy compared to the no-recovery group. Conclusion The evaluation of EPI by measuring SE alone is not sufficient because it does not reflect the nutritional status of patients, and a comprehensive approach that considers other parameters is required for EPI management.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preoperative and postoperative malnutrition on postoperative short- and long-term outcomes for ampullary carcinoma after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Methods Data were collected retrospectively from 511 patients with ampullary carcinoma who underwent PD between June 2012 and June 2019. Nutritional status before and at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation was assessed by the scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA). The patients were classified into well-nourished, moderately malnourished, and severely malnourished group according to the PG-SGA score. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to adjust baseline characteristics between preoperative group A (well-nourished and moderately malnourished group) and group B (severely malnourished group). After PSM, clinicopathological variables and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis was also conducted to investigate the prognostic factors of overall survival of patients with ampullary carcinoma who underwent PD. Results Preoperatively, 122 (23.9%) patients were classified into well-nourished group, 189 (37.0%) into moderately malnourished group, and 200 (39.1%) into severely malnourished group. After PSM analysis, the incidence of overall postoperative complications was higher in group B than that in group A (50.5% vs. 32.5%, p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model showed that severe malnutrition (PG-SGA score >9 scores) before operation [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.508; 95% CI, 1.103–2.061; p = 0.01] and at 6 months (HR = 4.148; 95% CI, 2.523–6.820; p < 0.001) and 12 months (HR = 5.272; 95% CI, 3.630–7.656; p < 0.001) after operation was an independent prognostic factor of patients who underwent PD for ampullary carcinoma. Conclusions Severe malnutrition before and at 6 and 12 months after operation significantly affects the long-term survival of patients with ampullary carcinoma who underwent PD. Additionally, the preoperative malnutrition was closely related to postoperative complications.

Abstract
Recent studies have obtained inadequate data on the association between nutritional status, body composition, clinical parameters and tumor stage in patients withpancreatic and periampullary tumors. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between nutritional status (NS), body composition (BC) and selected clinical parameters in patients with pancreatic and periampullary cancer, as well as describe the differences between resection and non-resection groups. This is a prospective study of 76 patients with pancreatic and periampullary tumors. We evaluated NS, BMI, body mass loss (BML) and albumin, total protein, CRP, CEA, CA19-9, lipase, amylase, tumor stage, and BC using bioelectrical impedance (BIA). All subjects were divided into resection (n = 59) and non-resection (n = 17) groups. The non-resection group had a worse NS, as well as increased amylase and WBC, compared to the resection. The selected parameters of BC corresponded to BML albumin, TP, NS, age, BMI, Karnofsky, RBC, HCT and HGB. No associations were found between BC with tumor size, CRP, CA19-9, and CEA. We recorded the relationship between metastasis and NRS, as well as tumor size with SGA. The percentage of BML was positively correlated with age and CRP but negatively correlated with RBC, HGB, HCT and anthropometric measurements. We found many statistical correlations with NS and selected parameters, as well as differences between the resection and non-resection group. The detection of early prognostic factors of nutritional impairments would improve the quality of life and reduce the rate of postoperative complications.

Abstract
Peripancreatic fluid collections have been observed in most patients with postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy; however, optimal management remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the management and outcomes of patients with postoperative pancreatic fistula and verify the significance of computed tomography values for predicting peripancreatic fluid infections after distal pancreatectomy. We retrospectively investigated 259 consecutive patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy. Grade B postoperative pancreatic fistula patients were divided into two subgroups (B-antibiotics group and B-intervention group) and outcomes were compared. Predictive factor analysis of peripancreatic fluid infection was performed. Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistulas developed in 88 (34.0%) patients. The duration of hospitalization was significantly longer in the B-intervention (n = 54) group than in the B-antibiotics group (n = 31; 41 vs. 17 days, p < 0.001). Computed tomography values of the infected peripancreatic fluid collections were significantly higher than those of the non-infected peripancreatic fluid collections (26.3 vs. 16.1 Hounsfield units, respectively; p < 0.001). The outcomes of the patients with grade B postoperative pancreatic fistulas who received therapeutic antibiotics only were considerably better than those who underwent interventions. Computed tomography values may be useful in predicting peripancreatic fluid collection infection after distal pancreatectomy.

ABCD-ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS DE CIRURGIA DIGESTIVA 2021; 34:e1592. [PMID: 34669882 PMCID: PMC8521836 DOI: 10.1590/0102-672020210002e1592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2020] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Background: The delay in gastric emptying is the second most frequent complication after duodenopancreatectomy with pyloric preservation, that increases hospitalization time and hospital costs.
Aim: To identify factors that contribute to the appearance the delay in this surgical procedure.
Method: Ninety-five patients were submitted to duodenopancreatectomy with pyloric preservation. After retrospective analysis of the medical records, it was observed that 60 had prolonged hospitalization due to complications. Thus, univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze predictors of delayed gastric emptying.
Results: Delay was present in 65% (n=39) and pancreatic fistula in 38.3% (n=23). Univariate analysis revealed that the presence of pancreatic complications (pancreatic fistula, p=0.01), other intracavitary complications with the appearance of abdominal collections (p=0.03) and hypoalbuminemia (p=0.06) were responsible, also confirmed by the multivariate analysis. In those who presented delay without a determined cause, it was observed that high levels of total bilirubin (p=0.01) and direct bilirubin (p=0.01) could be related to it.
Conclusion: The delay in gastric emptying in patients undergoing duodenopancreatectomy with pyloric preservation is due to intracavitary complications.

Achieving 'Marginal Gains' to Optimise Outcomes in Resectable Pancreatic Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13071669. [PMID: 33916294 PMCID: PMC8037133 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13071669] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Revised: 03/19/2021] [Accepted: 03/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Improving outcomes in pancreatic cancer is achievable through the accumulation of marginal gains. There exists evidence of variation and undertreatment in many areas of the care pathway. By fully realising the existing opportunities, there is the potential for immediate improvements in outcomes and quality of life. Abstract Improving outcomes among patients with resectable pancreatic cancer is one of the greatest challenges of modern medicine. Major improvements in survival will result from the development of novel therapies. However, optimising existing pathways, so that patients realise benefits of already proven treatments, presents a clear opportunity to improve outcomes in the short term. This narrative review will focus on treatments and interventions where there is a clear evidence base to improve outcomes in pancreatic cancer, and where there is also evidence of variation and under-treatment. Avoidance of preoperative biliary drainage, treatment of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, prehabiliation and enhanced recovery after surgery, reducing perioperative complications, optimising opportunities for elderly patients to receive therapy, optimising adjuvant chemotherapy and regular surveillance after surgery are some of the strategies discussed. Each treatment or pathway change represents an opportunity for marginal gain. Accumulation of marginal gains can result in considerable benefit to patients. Given that these interventions already have evidence base, they can be realised quickly and economically.

A Novel Pancreatic Fistula Risk Score Including Preoperative Radiation Therapy in Pancreatic Cancer Patients. J Gastrointest Surg 2021; 25:991-1000.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most serious complication following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Identifying patients at high or low risk of developing POPF is important in perioperative management. This study aimed to determine a predictive risk score for POPF following PD, and compare it to preexisting scores. METHODS All patients who underwent open PD from 2012 to 2017 in two high-volume centers were included. The training dataset was used for the development of the POPF predictive risk score (using the 2016 ISGPS definition), while the testing dataset was used for external validation. The proposed score was compared to the fistula risk score (FRS), the NSQIP-modified FRS (mFRS), and the alternative FRS (aFRS). RESULTS Overall, 448 and 213 patients were included in the training and testing datasets, respectively. A probabilistic predictive risk score was developed using four independent POPF risk factors (increasing age, no preoperative radiation therapy, soft pancreatic stump, and decreasing main pancreatic duct diameter). The discriminative capacities of the new score, FRS, mFRS, and aFRS were similar (AUC ranging from 0.73 to 0.79 in the training cohort and from 0.73 to 0.76 in the testing cohort). However, the new score identified more specifically patients at low risk of POPF compared with other scores, in both cohorts, with a 6% false-negative rate. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative radiation therapy is an independent protective factor of POPF following PD. It should be included in the risk score of POPF to identify more precisely patients at low risk for this complication.

Abstract
Background Prehabilitation aims to improve post-operative outcomes by enhancing pre-operative fitness but is labour-intensive. This pilot study aimed to assess the efficacy of a tri-modal prehabilitation programme delivered by smartwatches for improving functional fitness prior to major abdominal cancer surgery. Methods A single-centre, randomised controlled pilot study, in which 22 patients were randomised to: (a) a prehabilitation group (n = 11), comprising of home-based exercise, nutritional, and dietary advice delivered using a wrist-worn smartwatch connected to a smartphone application; or (b) a control group (n = 11) receiving usual care, with patients given a smartwatch as a placebo. Eligible participants had over two weeks until planned surgery. The primary outcome was pre-operative physical activity including 6-min walk test (6MWT) distance, with secondary outcomes including change in body weight and hospital anxiety and depression score (HADS). Results Recruitment was 67% of eligible patients, with groups matched for baseline characteristics. The prehabilitation group engaged in more daily minutes of moderate [25.1 min (95% CI 9.79–40.44) vs 13.1 min (95% CI 5.97–20.31), p = 0.063] and vigorous physical activity [36.1 min (95% CI 21.24–50.90) vs 17.5 min (95% CI 5.18–29.73), p = 0.022] compared to controls. They also had significantly greater improvements in 6MWT distance compared to controls [+ 85.6 m (95% CI, + 18.06 to + 153.21) vs + 13.23 m (95% CI − 6.78 to 33.23), p = 0.014]. HADS scores remained unchanged from baseline in both groups. Conclusion Prehabilitation in the colorectal cancer care setting can be delivered using smartwatches and mobile applications. Furthermore, this study provides early indicative evidence that such technologies can improve functional capacity prior to surgery Trial registration NCT04047524.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to construct and internally validate a nomogram for predicting major complications in obstructive jaundice patients planned to undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS The clinical data of 835 obstructive jaundice patients who underwent PD in a high-volume center were collected and retrospectively analyzed during an 8-year period. Factors affecting the major complication rate were optimized by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis and were incorporated in logistic regression analysis. The performance of this nomogram was evaluated by discrimination, calibration, internal validation and clinical utility. RESULTS Predictors included in the model were sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, preoperative biliary drainage (PBD), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), hemoglobin, prealbumin, total bilirubin, transfusion, and pathology category. The model had good discrimination and calibration with a C-index of 0.700. Internal validation generated an acceptable C-index of 0.701. Decision curve analysis indicated this nomogram was clinically useful for predicting the possibility of major complications at a threshold between 1% and 59%. CONCLUSION This novel nomogram could be conveniently used and assist in decisions for PBD in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elderly patients present a higher risk of developing chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs) together with increased risk of malnutrition. The nutritional status may affect outcomes, response to treatments, and prognosis. Influence on other kinds of diseases was investigated showing an increased risk of mortality, morbidity, and adverse outcomes. However, no studies are available on its possible role for the outcome of patients with CSDH. This study aims to evaluate a possible relationship between the nutritional status and the clinical outcome of patients who underwent CSDH surgery. METHODS This is a multicenter prospective study enrolling all patients treated for CSDH. Demographic and clinical data were collected. For nutritional status evaluation, we used the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Chi-square test was used for comparing clinical variables of patients and logistic regression analysis was used for defining the impact of the aforementioned variables on the clinical outcome. RESULTS We enrolled 178 patients. Modified Rankin scale (mRS) was 0-2 pre-operatively in 23.6% of patients and post-operatively in 61.2% of patients. Total assessment MNA score was >23.5 in 47.8% of patients. Ninety-three patients (52.2%) presented a normal nutritional status, 63 (35.4%) were at risk of malnutrition and 22 (12.4%) were malnourished. The mean follow-up was 2.6 months. Malnourished patients were at higher risk of a worse outcome (OR 81; CI = 9-750). CONCLUSION This study suggests that nutritional status represents a strong predictor of outcome. Our results, albeit preliminary, demonstrated malnutrition is correlated to the risk of worse clinical outcome for patients undergoing surgery for chronic subdural hematoma. Further investigations with wider casuistry and multiple nutritional scores are required to validate our data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite advancements in operative technique and improvements in postoperative managements, postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a life-threatening complication following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). There are some reports to predict POPF preoperatively or intraoperatively, but the accuracy of those is questionable. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is being actively used in the medical field, but few studies have reported applying it to outcomes after PD.
AIM To develop a risk prediction platform for POPF using an AI model.
METHODS Medical records were reviewed from 1769 patients at Samsung Medical Center who underwent PD from 2007 to 2016. A total of 38 variables were inserted into AI-driven algorithms. The algorithms tested to make the risk prediction platform were random forest (RF) and a neural network (NN) with or without recursive feature elimination (RFE). The median imputation method was used for missing values. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to examine the discriminative power of algorithm for POPF prediction.
RESULTS The number of POPFs was 221 (12.5%) according to the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula definition 2016. After median imputation, AUCs using 38 variables were 0.68 ± 0.02 with RF and 0.71 ± 0.02 with NN. The maximal AUC using NN with RFE was 0.74. Sixteen risk factors for POPF were identified by AI algorithm: Pancreatic duct diameter, body mass index, preoperative serum albumin, lipase level, amount of intraoperative fluid infusion, age, platelet count, extrapancreatic location of tumor, combined venous resection, co-existing pancreatitis, neoadjuvant radiotherapy, American Society of Anesthesiologists’ score, sex, soft texture of the pancreas, underlying heart disease, and preoperative endoscopic biliary decompression. We developed a web-based POPF prediction platform, and this application is freely available at http://popfrisk.smchbp.org.
CONCLUSION This study is the first to predict POPF with multiple risk factors using AI. This platform is reliable (AUC 0.74), so it could be used to select patients who need especially intense therapy and to preoperatively establish an effective treatment strategy.

Effects of Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy on Body Weight and Nutritional Assessments After Pancreatoduodenectomy in a Randomized Trial. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2020; 18:926-934.e4. [PMID: 31520730 DOI: 10.1016/j.cgh.2019.08.061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2019] [Revised: 08/18/2019] [Accepted: 08/30/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS We studied the effects of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) on body weight, nutritional status, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency after pancreatoduodenectomy. METHODS We performed a randomized, double-blind trial of 304 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy at 7 tertiary referral hospitals in South Korea. Patients with fecal levels of elastase of 200 μg/g or less, before and after surgery, were assigned randomly to groups that received PERT (a single capsule of 40,000 IU pancreatin, Norzyme (40,000 IU, Pankreatan; Nordmark Arzneimittel GmbH & Co, Uetersen, Germany), 3 times each day during meals for 3 months; n = 151) or placebo (n = 153). Protocol completion was defined as taking more than two thirds of the total dose without taking other digestive enzymes; the protocol was completed by 71 patients in the PERT group and 93 patients in the placebo group. Patients underwent a physical examination, oral glucose tolerance tests, and blood tests at baseline and at month 3 of the study period. The primary end point was change in body weight. Secondary end points were changes in bowel habits, nutritional parameters, and QoL. RESULTS In the per-protocol analysis, 3 months after the study began, patients in the PERT group gained a mean of 1.09 kg in weight and patients in the placebo group lost a mean of 2.28 kg (difference between groups, 3.37 kg; P < .001). However, no difference in body weight was observed between groups in the intent-to-treat analysis. Three months after the study began, the mean serum levels of prealbumin increased by 10.9 mg/dL in the PERT group and increased by 7.8 mg/dL in the placebo group (P = .002). Poor compliance to PERT was a significant risk factor for weight loss (P < .001). There was no significant difference in QoL scores between groups. CONCLUSIONS In the intent-to-treat analysis of data from a randomized trial, we found no significant effect of PERT on mean body weights of patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency after pancreatoduodenectomy. However, with active education and monitoring, PERT could increase body weight and nutritional parameters. ClinicalTrials.gov no: NCT02127021.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex surgical procedure with a high morbidity rate. The serious complications are major risk factors for poor long-term surgical outcome. Studies have reported an association between early postoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and prediction of severe complications after abdominal surgery. However, there have been no studies on the use of early postoperative PNI for predicting serious complications following PD.
AIM To analyze the risk factors and early postoperative PNI for predicting severe complications following PD.
METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 238 patients who underwent PD at our hospital between January 2007 and December 2017. The postoperative complications were classified according to the Dindo-Clavien classification. Grade III-V postoperative complications were classified as serious. The risk factors for serious complications were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS Overall complications were detected in 157 of 238 patients (65.9%) who underwent PD. The grade III-V complication rate was 26.47% (63/238 patients). The mortality rate was 3.7% (9/238 patients). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that preoperative serum albumin [odds ratio (OR): 0.883, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.80-0.96; P < 0.01] and PNI on postoperative day 3 < 40.5 (OR: 2.77, 95%CI: 1.21-6.38, P < 0.05) were independent factors associated with grade III-V postoperative complications.
CONCLUSION Perioperative albumin is an important factor associated with serious complications following PD. Low early postoperative PNI (< 40.5) is a predictor for serious complications.
