Saudi J Gastroenterol 2024; 30:154-161. [PMID: 37988064 PMCID: PMC11198917 DOI: 10.4103/sjg.sjg_296_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic head cancer accompanied by obstructive jaundice is a common clinical situation. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) on clinical outcomes in patients with severe obstructive jaundice. METHODS Patients with a bilirubin level of ≥250 μmol/L at diagnosis who underwent PBD were included. The primary endpoints and secondary endpoints were the postoperative severe complications rates. Secondary endpoints were the degree of improvement in general condition, predictors of severe postoperative complications, and the impact of PBD on patients with bilirubin levels >300 μmol/L. RESULTS In total, 289 patients were included, and 188 patients (65.1%) underwent PBD. The patients who met the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification II-III stages decreased from 119 to 100 ( P = 0.047) after PBD. The overall severe complications were significantly more frequent in the direct surgery (DS) group than in the PBD group (34.7% vs. 22.9%, P = 0.031), especially the postoperative hemorrhage (6/43 [14.0%] vs. 9/35 [25.7%], P = 0.038) and intra-abdominal infection (6/43 [14.0%] vs. 10/35 [28.6%], P = 0.018). The ASA classifications II-III (odds ratio [OR]=2.89, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.38-4.31), P = 0.01) and DS (OR = 3.65, 95% CI: 1.45-7.08; P = 0.003) were independently associated with severe postoperative complications. The occurrence rate of severe postoperative complications in patients with a bilirubin level >300 μmol/L who underwent PBD was significantly lower than in patients who underwent DS (25.6% vs. 40.6%, P = 0.028), but the benefit of PBD was not observed in patients who had a bilirubin level between 250 and 300 μmol/L. CONCLUSION PBD is useful in reducing severe postoperative complications, especially in patients with bilirubin levels >300 μmol/L.

Yu C, Lin YM, Xian GZ. Hemoglobin loss method calculates blood loss during pancreaticoduodenectomy and predicts bleeding-related risk factors. World J Gastrointest Surg 2024; 16:419-428. [PMID: 38463360 PMCID: PMC10921204 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v16.i2.419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The common clinical method to evaluate blood loss during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is visual inspection, but most scholars believe that this method is extremely subjective and inaccurate. Currently, there is no accurate, objective method to evaluate the amount of blood loss in PD patients. AIM The hemoglobin (Hb) loss method was used to analyze the amount of blood loss during PD, which was compared with the blood loss estimated by traditional visual methods. The risk factors for bleeding were also predicted at the same time. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 341 patients who underwent PD in Shandong Provincial Hospital from March 2017 to February 2019. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into an open PD (OPD) group and a laparoscopic PD (LPD) group. The differences and correlations between the intraoperative estimation of blood loss (IEBL) obtained by visual inspection and the intraoperative calculation of blood loss (ICBL) obtained using the Hb loss method were analyzed. ICBL, IEBL and perioperative calculation of blood loss (PCBL) were compared between the two groups, and single-factor regression analysis was performed. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general patient information between the two groups (P > 0.05). PD had an ICBL of 743.2 (393.0, 1173.1) mL and an IEBL of 100.0 (50.0, 300.0) mL (P < 0.001). There was also a certain correlation between the two (r = 0.312, P < 0.001). Single-factor analysis of ICBL showed that a history of diabetes [95% confidence interval (CI): 53.82-549.62; P = 0.017] was an independent risk factor for ICBL. In addition, the single-factor analysis of PCBL showed that body mass index (BMI) (95%CI: 0.62-76.75; P = 0.046) and preoperative total bilirubin > 200 μmol/L (95%CI: 7.09-644.26; P = 0.045) were independent risk factors for PCBL. The ICBLs of the LPD group and OPD group were 767.7 (435.4, 1249.0) mL and 663.8 (347.7, 1138.2) mL, respectively (P > 0.05). The IEBL of the LPD group 200.0 (50.0, 200.0) mL was slightly greater than that of the OPD group 100.0 (50.0, 300.0) mL (P > 0.05). PCBL was greater in the LPD group than the OPD group [1061.6 (612.3, 1632.3) mL vs 806.1 (375.9, 1347.6) mL] (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The ICBL in patients who underwent PD was greater than the IEBL, but there is a certain correlation between the two. The Hb loss method can be used to evaluate intraoperative blood loss. A history of diabetes, preoperative bilirubin > 200 μmol/L and high BMI increase the patient's risk of bleeding.

Predictive value of preoperative albumin-bilirubin score and other risk factors for short-term outcomes after open pancreatoduodenectomy. World J Clin Cases 2023; 11:6051-6065. [PMID: 37731561 PMCID: PMC10507555 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v11.i26.6051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy represents a complex procedure involving extensive organ resection and multiple alimentary reconstructions. It is still associated with high morbidity, even in high-volume centres. Prediction tools including preoperative patient-related factors to preoperatively identify patients at high risk for postoperative complications could enable tailored perioperative management and improve patient outcomes. AIM To evaluate the clinical significance of preoperative albumin-bilirubin score and other risk factors in relation to short-term postoperative outcomes in patients after open pancreatoduodenectomy. METHODS This retrospective study included all patients who underwent open pancreatic head resection (pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy or Whipple resection) for various pathologies during a five-year period (2017-2021) in a tertiary care setting at University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Slovenia and Cattinara Hospital, Trieste, Italy. Short-term postoperative outcomes, namely, postoperative complications, postoperative pancreatic fistula, reoperation, and mortality, were evaluated in association with albumin-bilirubin score and other risk factors. Multiple logistic regression models were built to identify risk factors associated with these short-term postoperative outcomes. RESULTS Data from 347 patients were collected. Postoperative complications, major postoperative complications, postoperative pancreatic fistula, reoperation, and mortality were observed in 52.7%, 22.2%, 23.9%, 21.3%, and 5.2% of patients, respectively. There was no statistically significant association between the albumin-bilirubin score and any of these short-term postoperative complications based on univariate analysis. When controlling for other predictor variables in a logistic regression model, soft pancreatic texture was statistically significantly associated with postoperative complications [odds ratio (OR): 2.09; 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.19-3.67]; male gender (OR: 2.12; 95%CI: 1.15-3.93), soft pancreatic texture (OR: 3.06; 95%CI: 1.56-5.97), and blood loss (OR: 1.07; 95%CI: 1.00-1.14) were statistically significantly associated with major postoperative complications; soft pancreatic texture was statistically significantly associated with the development of postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR: 5.11; 95%CI: 2.38-10.95); male gender (OR: 1.97; 95%CI: 1.01-3.83), soft pancreatic texture (OR: 2.95; 95%CI: 1.42-6.11), blood loss (OR: 1.08; 95%CI: 1.01-1.16), and resection due to duodenal carcinoma (OR: 6.58; 95%CI: 1.20-36.15) were statistically significantly associated with reoperation. CONCLUSION The albumin-bilirubin score failed to predict short-term postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. However, other risk factors seem to influence postoperative outcomes, including male sex, soft pancreatic texture, blood loss, and resection due to duodenal carcinoma.

Abstract
Background There are still many controversies about biliary drainage in MBO, and we aimed to summarize and evaluate the evidence associated with biliary drainage. Methods We conducted an umbrella review of SRoMAs based on RCTs. Through July 28, 2022, Embase, PubMed, WOS, and Cochrane Database were searched. Two reviewers independently screened the studies, extracted the data, and appraised the methodological quality of the included studies. GRADE was used to evaluate the quality of the evidence. Results 36 SRoMAs were identified. After excluding 24 overlapping studies, 12 SRoMAs, including 76 RCTs, and 124 clinical outcomes for biliary drainage in MBO were included. Of the 124 pieces of evidence evaluated, 13 were rated "High" quality, 38 were rated "Moderate", and the rest were rated "Low" or "Very low". For patients with MBO, 125I seeds+stent can reduce the risk of stent occlusion, RFA+stent can improve the prognosis; compared with PC, SEMS can increase the risk of tumor ingrowth and reduce the occurrence of sludge formation, and the incidence of tumor ingrowth in C-SEMS/PC-SEMS was significantly lower than that in U-SEMS. There was no difference in the success rate of drainage between EUS-BD and ERCP-BD, but the use of EUS-BD can reduce the incidence of stent dysfunction. For patients with obstructive jaundice, PBD does not affect postoperative mortality compared to direct surgery. The use of MS in patients with periampullary cancer during PBD can reduce the risk of re-intervention and stent occlusion compared to PC. In addition, we included four RCTs that showed that when performing EUS-BD on MBO, hepaticogastrostomy has higher technical success rates than choledochoduodenostomy. Patients who received Bilateral-ENBD had a lower additional drainage rate than those who received Unilateral-ENBD. Conclusions Our study summarizes a large amount of evidence related to biliary drainage, which helps to reduce the uncertainty in the selection of biliary drainage strategies for MBO patients under different circumstances.

Abstract
Introduction The way pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is performed can vary a lot around the world, and there is no agreed-upon standard approach. To learn more about how PD is practised in India, a survey was conducted among Indian surgeons to gather information about their current practices. Methods A survey was created and shared with surgeons in India who practice pancreatic surgery. It had 33 questions that aimed to capture information about different aspects of PD practice. These questions covered topics such as the surgeons' education and experience, how they evaluated patients before surgery, what they considered during the operation, and how they managed patients after surgery. Results A total of 129 surgeons were sent the survey, and 110 of them completed it. The results showed that 40.9% of the surgeons had less than five years of experience, and 36.4% of them performed more than 15 PDs in a year. When deciding whether to perform preoperative biliary drainage, 60% of surgeons based their decision on the level of bilirubin in the patient's blood, while the rest considered other specific indications. The majority of surgeons (72.7%) looked at the trend of albumin levels to assess the patient's nutritional status before surgery. Venous infiltration was seen as a reason for neoadjuvant therapy by 76.4% of the participants, whereas 95.5% considered upfront surgery in cases of venous abutment. When it came to the type of PD, 40% preferred classical PD, 40.9% preferred pylorus-resecting PD (PRPD), and the rest chose pylorus-preserving PD (PPPD). Pancreatojejunostomy (PJ) was the preferred method for 77.3% of surgeons, while 6.3% preferred pancreatogastrostomy (PG). About 65.5% of surgeons used octreotide selectively during the operation when the duct diameter was small. Nearly all surgeons (94.5%) preferred to secure feeding access during PD, and all of them placed intraperitoneal drains. As for postoperative care, 37.3% of surgeons attempted early oral feeding within 48 hours, while 28.2% preferred to wait at least 48 hours before initiating oral feeds. Conclusions The survey revealed significant differences in how PD is practised among surgeons in India, highlighting the heterogeneity in their approaches and preferences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While an association between postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and adverse events exists, the incidence and impact of postoperative AKI after pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma remain unclear. This study aimed to diagnose AKI and investigate the risk factors for and prognostic value of postoperative AKI. METHODS Clinical characteristics of patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between 2013 and 2020 at a high-volume centre were collected retrospectively. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria were used to diagnose AKI. A 1:2 propensity score matching (PSM) was used to minimise bias between the AKI and non-AKI groups. Short-term surgical and long-term survival outcomes were compared between groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis assessed the independent risk factors for AKI development, major complications, and 30-day mortality. RESULTS Postoperative AKI occurred in 10.7% of 1312 patients. Total bilirubin level > 250 μmol/L (odds ratio [OR]: 3.24; p < 0.001), estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (OR: 2.30; p = 0.048), and intraoperative estimated blood loss >1000 ml (OR: 2.96; p = 0.001) were independent risk factors for postoperative AKI. After PSM, higher incidences of major complications (p < 0.001) and 30-day mortality (p < 0.001) were observed in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group. There was no difference in long-term overall survival outcomes between both groups (p = 0.535). AKI was an independent predictor of major complications (OR: 3.06; p < 0.001) and 30-day mortality (OR: 2.87; p = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative AKI is common after pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and has a predictive effect on major complications and 30-day mortality. Therefore, prevention and proper management of postoperative AKI are required in clinical practice.

The effect of preoperative biliary drainage on postoperative complications of pancreaticoduodenectomy: a triple center retrospective study. BMC Surg 2022; 22:399. [DOI: 10.1186/s12893-022-01853-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Biliary obstruction which is a major complication of pancreas and periampullary tumors could result in cholangitis, coagulopathies, gastrointestinal symptoms, and impaired wound healing. Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is still the standard approach for pancreas resection and imposes high risk of morbidity and mortality to patients. To reduce the high risk of PD and address the biliary obstruction, the use of preoperative biliary stenting was increased. However, available literature doubts its efficiency.
Methods
A total of 147 patients who underwent PD between September 2012, and February 2022, at three medical centers were identified. Patients were grouped based on biliary stent placement. Non-jaundiced patients with and without preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) were compared.
Results
The incidence of overall complications (34.2% versus 45.8%) and mortality (17.8% versus 24.3%) did not differ in the PBD group compared to the no PBD group. There was no difference in complications and mortality in non-jaundiced patients with and without PBD. Patients with drainage duration of > 30 days experienced more overall complications compared to patients with less than 30 days drainage duration (12 (50.0%) and three (15.8%) patients, respectively, p-value = 0.019).
Conclusions
PBD does not significantly increase the post-operative burden on patients who undergo PD. However, we cannot overlook the financial burden that PBD places on the patient and the healthcare system, as well as the difficulties related to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Therefore, biliary stenting should not be routinely practiced in the absence of a valid indication, such as severe jaundice, pruritus, cholangitis, delayed surgery for neoadjuvant treatment, or referral to a tertiary facility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) is useful in resectable periampullary cancer with obstructive jaundice. Whether it is better than direct surgery (DS) in terms of postoperative complications and mortality is controversial. METHODS All cases of successful pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with periampullary cancer with obstructive jaundice performed between January 2016 and January 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Endoscopic PBD was performed; data pertaining to serum bilirubin level, procedural technique, and duration before surgery were obtained. The incidence of postoperative complications and survival rate were compared between the PBD and DS group. RESULTS A total of 104 patients (PBD, n = 58; DS, n = 46) underwent curative PD. The mean age was 63.8 ± 10 years and 53 (51%) were male. Age, body mass index (BMI), sex, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group status, presence of comorbid disease, initial laboratory results, and pathological diagnoses were not significantly different between the two groups. The incidence of postoperative complications was 58.6% in the PBD group while 73.9% in the DS group (relative risk [RR] 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.92, 1.73, p=0.155) and the difference was not significant except in bile leakage (RR 8.83, 95% CI 1.26, 61.79, p = 0.021) and intraoperative bleeding (RR 3.97, 95% CI 0.88, 17.85, p = 0.049) which were higher in the DS group. The one-year survival rate was slightly less in the DS group but the difference was not statistically significant. The independent predictors for death within 1-year were intraoperative bleeding and preoperative total bilirubin > 14.6 mg/dL. CONCLUSIONS PBD in resectable malignant distal biliary obstruction showed no benefit in terms of 1-year survival over DS approach. But it demonstrated the benefit of lower risks of intraoperative bleeding, and bile leakage. Additionally, the level of pre-operative bilirubin level of over 14.6 mg/dL and having intraoperative bleeding were associated with a lower 1-year survival in such patients. Overall, PBD may be not necessary for all resectable periampullary cancer patients, but there might be a role in those with severely jaundice (>14.6 mg/dL), as it helps lower risk of intraoperative bleeding, and might lead to a better survival outcome.

Preoperative biliary drainage in severely jaundiced patients with pancreatic head cancer: A retrospective cohort study. HPB (Oxford) 2022; 24:1888-1897. [PMID: 35803831 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2022.05.1345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines recommend against preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in patients with pancreatic head cancer if bilirubin levels are <250 μmol/l. However, patients with higher bilirubin levels undergo PBD, despite the lack of supporting evidence. This study aims to evaluate outcomes in patients with a bilirubin level ≥250 and < 250. METHODS Patients were identified from databases of 3 centers. Outcomes were compared in patients with a bilirubin level ≥250 versus <250 both at the time of diagnosis and directly prior to surgery. RESULTS 244 patients were included. PBD was performed in 64% (123/191) with bilirubin <250 at diagnosis and 91% (48/53) with bilirubin ≥250. PBD technical success (83% vs. 81%, p = 0.80) and PBD related complications (33% vs. 29%, p = 0.60) did not differ between these groups. Analyzing bilirubin levels ≥250 versus <250 directly prior to surgery, no differences in severe postoperative complications and mortality were found. CONCLUSIONS In patients with a pancreatic head cancer, PBD technical success and complications, and severe postoperative complications did not differ between patients with a bilirubin level ≥250 and < 250. Our study does not support a different approach regarding PBD in patients with severe jaundice.

Abstract
Background Distal common bile duct (dCBD) cancer is typical indication for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We aimed to retrospectively evaluate surgical outcomes and investigate prognostic factors of dCBD adenocarcinoma for which PD was performed at a single institution. Methods We searched consecutive cases of dCBD adenocarcinoma undergone PD at Samsung Medical Center from 1995 to 2018. Cases with distant metastasis or palliative intent were excluded. The year in which the survival rate was dramatically improved was identified and entire years were divided into two periods for comparison. To balance between the two periods, we conducted propensity score matching (PSM) analysis using age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and American Society of Anesthesiologist score. Results Total of 804 cases were enrolled in this study. The entire period was divided into early period of 18 years and recent period of 6 years. The early and late period included 466 and 338 patients, respectively. As a result of PSM, balanced 316 patients were selected from each of the two periods. Significant improvements in surgical outcomes were identified, including shorter operation time, fewer blood loss, shorter hospitalization, and favorable overall survival. As results of multivariable analysis of independent risk factors for overall survival, older age and advanced N stage were identified, as expected. It was distinct that aggressive surgery and advanced tumor state in the early period and a lower BMI in the late period negatively affected the survival, respectively. Conclusions Surgical outcomes of dCBD cancer underwent PD was improved. There were few modifiable factors to improve survival and continuous further study is needed to detect dCBD cancer in the early stages.

Machine learning algorithms as early diagnostic tools for pancreatic fistula following pancreaticoduodenectomy and guide drain removal: A retrospective cohort study. Int J Surg 2022; 102:106638. [PMID: 35500881 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2022.106638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) remains the major cause of morbidity following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Several model score systems such as the Fistula Risk Score (FRS) have been developed to predict CR-POPF using preoperative and intraoperative data. Machine learning (ML) algorithms are increasingly applied in the medical field and they could be used to assess the risk of CR-POPF, identify clinically meaningful data and guide drain removal. METHODS Data from consecutive patients who underwent PD between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2021 at a single high-volume center was collected retrospectively in this study. Demographics, clinical features, intraoperative parameters, and laboratory values were used to conduct the ML model. Four different ML algorithms (CatBoost, lightGBM, XGBoost and Random Forest) were used to train this model with cross-validation. RESULTS A total of 2421 patients with 62 clinical parameters were enrolled in this ML model. The majority of patients (76.3%) underwent open PD while others underwent robot-assisted PD. CR-POPF occurred in 424 (17.5%) patients. The CatBoost algorithm outperformed other algorithms with a mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.81 (95% confidence interval: 0.80-0.82) from the 5-fold cross-validation procedure. In the test dataset, the CatBoost algorithm also achieved the best mean-AUC of 0.83. The most important value was mean drain fluid amylase (DFA) in the first seven postoperative days (POD). The performance of models that used only preoperative data and intraoperative data was marginally lower than that of models that used combined data. CONCLUSION Our ML algorithms could be applied as early diagnostic tools for CR-POPF in patients who underwent PD. Such real-time clinical decision support tools can identify patients with a high risk of CR-POPF, help in developing the perioperative management plan and guide the optimal timing of drain removal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) has been advocated to address the plethora of physiologic derangements associated with cholestasis. However, available literature reports mixed outcomes and is based on largely outdated and/or single-institution studies. METHODS Patients undergoing PBD prior to pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for periampullary malignancy between 2014-2018 were identified in the ACS-NSQIP pancreatectomy dataset. Patients with PBD were propensity-score-matched to those without PBD and 30-day outcomes compared. RESULTS 8,970 patients met our inclusion criteria. 4,473 with obstruction and PBD were matched to 829 with no preoperative drainage procedure. In the non-jaundiced cohort, 711 stented patients were matched to 2,957 without prior intervention. PBD did not influence 30-day mortality (2.2% versus 2.4%) or major morbidity (19.8% versus 20%) in patients with obstructive jaundice. Superficial surgical site infections (SSIs) were more common with PBD (6.8% versus 9.2%), however, no differences in deep or organ-space SSIs were found. Patients without obstruction prior to PBD exhibited a 3-fold increase in wound dehiscence (0.5% versus 1.5%) additionally to increased superficial SSIs. CONCLUSION PBD was not associated with an increase in 30-day mortality or major morbidity but increased superficial SSIs. PBD should be limited to symptomatic, profoundly jaundiced patients or those with a delay prior to PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the USA. Although management strategies have evolved, there are continued controversies about the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and pretreatment biliary drainage (PBD) in patients with resectable and potentially resectable disease. AIMS We aimed to characterize the practice trends and outcomes for NAC and PBD. METHODS A single-center cohort study was performed. Electronic medical records were reviewed between 2011 and 2019, and 140 patients who had pancreaticoduodenectomy for PDAC were included. Diagnosis, treatment, and outcome data were captured. RESULTS There were no statistically significant temporal trends relating to the use of chemotherapy and PBD. Overall, 41% of patients received NAC and had improved survival, independent of other factors. Of the 71% who received PBD, only 40% had appropriate indications; 30% experienced postprocedure complications, and 34% required reintervention. Factors associated with the application of PBD included preoperative jaundice (OR 70.5, 95% CI 21.4-306.6) and evaluation by non-tertiary therapeutic endoscopists (OR 3.9, 95% CI 1.3-13.6). PBD was associated with a 12-day delay in surgery among those who did not receive NAC (p = 0.005), but there were no differences in surgical complications or mortality. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that (1) NAC may confer a survival benefit and (2) PBD should be reserved for individuals with jaundice requiring NAC. Implementation of guidelines by North American gastroenterology societies, multidisciplinary treatment models, and delivery of care at high-volume tertiary centers may help optimize management.

Abstract
Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the most common complications after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). It mainly includes gastrointestinal hemorrhage and abdominal hemorrhage. With the development of digestive endoscopy and ultrasonic/radiological interventional technology, hemostasis can be effectively performed by minimally invasive methods in many patients with PPH. This report describes the successful treatment of multiple episodes of postoperative hemorrhage after PD. The patient developed anastomotic hemorrhage after PD and was successfully treated by endoscopic hemostasis. However, he also developed intra-abdominal hemorrhage after PD caused by a pseudoaneurysm that had formed next to the common hepatic artery. We effectively performed hemostasis by injecting lyophilized thrombin powder into the pseudoaneurysm with ultrasound guidance, which is a rarely used method. This case indicates that digestive endoscopy provides great advantages in the treatment of gastrointestinal hemorrhage after PD. For patients who develop PPH with a pseudoaneurysm, interventional ultrasonography is an option if transcatheter arterial embolization or covered stenting fails.

Does Preoperative Acute Pancreatitis Inevitably Delay Pancreatoduodenectomy in Patients with Periampullary Tumors? Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13246289.

Abstract
Simple Summary Acute pancreatitis can occur preoperatively in patients with periampullary tumors and cause technical difficulties in performing pancreatoduodenectomy. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate how preoperative acute pancreatitis would affect postoperative outcomes and to identify the optimal timing of surgery. There were more patients with operation failure (only exploration or unintended total pancreatectomy) in patients with pancreatitis, but no difference was found in rates of other complications. Moreover, when stratified by the timing of surgery, the surgical outcomes did not differ between the patients with and without pancreatitis. The results imply that in terms of surgical complications, pancreatoduodenectomy could be safely performed in patients with preoperative pancreatitis. Further research is necessary to identify safe conditions and proper timing of surgery for patients with preoperative pancreatitis. Abstract Preoperative acute pancreatitis (PAP) in patients with periampullary tumor can cause technical difficulties when performing pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) but perioperative risks of PAP remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of PAP on surgical outcomes and determine the optimal timing of PD. Patients undergoing surgery for periampullary tumors between 2009 and 2018 were included. Simple random sampling (1:4) was performed to compare outcomes between the PAP group and the control group. Operative failure was defined as exploration-only or unwanted total pancreatectomy. The rate of operative failure was higher in the PAP group than in the control group (6.6% vs. 0%, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in postoperative outcomes including complications or in-hospital mortality between the two groups. Surgical outcomes were compared after dividing PAP groups by intervals (2, 3, or 4 weeks) between the onset of PAP and surgery, and there were no differences between the groups. In conclusion, in spite of the increased risk of operation failure, PD could be performed in PAP patients at comparable rates of postoperative complications. Further study is needed to select patients with PAP in proper conditions for performing PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the mortality of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has decreased, the morbidity especially infections is still a severe challenge. This study aimed to identify the risk factors and microbial spectrum for infectious complications after PD. METHODS This retrospective study of 291 consecutive patients who underwent PD between February 2018 and March 2021 was conducted. The clinical data was reviewed and risk factors associated with infectious complications were analyzed. To investigate the microbial spectrum, microorganisms isolated from preoperative bile, drainage fluid and blood were counted. RESULTS A total of 110 patients (37.8%) developed postoperative infections. The patients who suffered infections had higher severe complications, prolonged hospitalization and increased expenditures. Three independent risk factors were identified: preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) [odds ratio (OR) 2.082; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.059-4.091; P=0.033], clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) (OR 11.984; 95% CI: 6.556-21.471; P=0.000) and biliary fistula (BF) (OR 3.674; 95% CI: 1.218-11.084; P=0.021). K. pneumoniae and E. faecalis were the most frequently isolated bacteria in preoperative bile and drainage fluid after PD. K. pneumoniae and S. haemolyticus were the most common bacteria in bacteremia patients. CONCLUSIONS PBD, POPF and BF are independent risk factors for infectious complications after PD. To lower the incidence of infection, PBD should be performed only in select cases and efforts should be taken to reduce the POPF and BF. The pathogens of bile and drainage fluid should be monitored throughout the hospital stay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) on outcomes of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with biliary obstruction. METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and Web of Science from database inception to 11 March 2021. We used the ROBINS-I tool and Cochrane risk of bias tool 2.0 to assess the risk of bias. The data were statistically analyzed using the RevMan software (Version 5.4). RESULTS In all, 43 studies, including 23,076 patients, were analyzed, of which 13,922 patients were treated with PBD and 9154 were treated with no preoperative biliary drainage (NPBD). The morbidity , infection morbidity , and postoperative pancreatic fistulae (POPF) in patients undergoing PBD, were significantly higher than those in patients undergoing NPBD. Further, PBD may lead to a significantly worse 2- and 3-year overall survival (OS) rates . In subgroup meta-analysis, the differences in morbidity, POPF, and OS outcomes lost significance between the PBD and NPBD groups when the mean total serum bilirubin (TSB) concentration was below 15 mg/dl. CONCLUSIONS Routine PBD still cannot be recommended because it showed no beneficial effect on postoperative outcomes. However, in patients with < 15 mg/dl TSB concentration, PBD tends to be a better choice.

Association of the rate of bilirubin decrease with major morbidity in patients undergoing preoperative biliary drainage before pancreaticoduodenectomy. SAGE Open Med 2021; 9:20503121211039667. [PMID: 34422273 PMCID: PMC8375332 DOI: 10.1177/20503121211039667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between the rate of bilirubin decrease following preoperative biliary drainage before pancreaticoduodenectomy and postoperative morbidity. Methods: Records of patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at the Department of Surgery in Ramathibodi Hospital between January 2008 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were classified into either an adequate or inadequate drainage rate groups according to the bilirubin decrease rate. Major morbidity was defined as higher than grade II in the Clavien-Dindo classification. Risk factors for major morbidity were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results: In total, 166 patients were included in the study. Major morbidity was observed in 36 patients (21.6%). Adequate biliary drainage rate was observed in 39 patients (23.4%). Patients who had major morbidity were less likely to have come from the adequate biliary drainage rate group than the inadequate group (38.9% vs. 61.1%). However, through multivariate logistic analysis, only body mass index, operative time, and pancreatic duct diameter were independent factors associated with major morbidity, whereas the bilirubin decrease rate was not. Conclusions: Bilirubin decrease rate following preoperative biliary drainage has no significant association with major postoperative morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Endoscopic versus percutaneous biliary drainage for resectable pancreatic head cancer with hyperbilirubinemia and impact on pancreaticoduodenectomy: A randomized controlled study. Int J Surg 2021; 93:106043. [PMID: 34371176 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2021.106043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/29/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that percutaneous biliary drainage provides more short-term advantages over endoscopic stenting before pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS Between January 2019 and December 2010, a prospective cohort study was conducted. Sixty patients with potentially resectable pancreatic head cancers and high bilirubin levels were stratified into two equal groups according to the method of biliary drainage: endoscopic stenting or percutaneous drainage. The primary outcome measures were operative difficulties and early postoperative morbidity, the secondary outcome was post-drainage complications. RESULTS Both groups were comparable in age; gender; presenting symptoms, type of malignancy, post-drainage complications, and time intervals between drainage and surgery. Key preoperative significant differences were technically higher but clinical success rates was better in the PTD cohort. ERCP patients had significantly more difficult dissections, more blood loss, longer resection time, more postoperative bile leak, and longer hospital stay. CONCLUSION From the operative perspective, patients who underwent PTD in the preoperative setting had fewer morbidities and shorter hospital stay. Large scale studies are required to support the validity of these findings in surgical practice.

Abstract
Recent studies have indicated that preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) should not be routinely performed in all patients suffering from obstructive jaundice before pancreatic surgery. The severity of jaundice that mandates PBD has yet to be defined. The evaluated paper examines the impact of PBD on intra-operative, and post-operative outcomes in patients initially presenting with severe obstructive jaundice (bilirubin ≥250 μmol/L). In this key paper evaluation, the impact of PBD versus a direct surgery (DS) approach is discussed. The arguments for and against each approach are considered with regards to drainage associated morbidity and mortality, resection rates, survival and the impact of chemotherapy and malnutrition. Concentrating on resectable head of pancreas tumors, this mini-review aims to scrutinize the authors' recommendations, alongside those of prominent papers in the field.

BMC Gastroenterol 2021; 21:233. [PMID: 34022800 PMCID: PMC8141182 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-021-01818-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As a nutritional index, preoperative serum prealbumin highly correlates with surgical complications. However, the correlation between preoperative prealbumin and postoperative complications remains unclear in liver transplantation (LT). METHODS A total of 191 patients who underwent LT between 2015 and 2019 were included in the retrospective analysis. According to a cut-off value calculated from a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the patients were divided into normal and low preoperative prealbumin groups. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for postoperative complications. In addition, patients were divided into subgroups by Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, and the association between preoperative prealbumin and postoperative complications was also assessed in each group. RESULTS A total of 111 (58.1%) patients were included in the low prealbumin group based on a cut-off value of 120 mg/L. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.754 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.678-0.832). Low prealbumin (95% CI 1.51-12.8, P = 0.007) was identified as a predictor for postoperative complications based on multivariable regression. In the low and normal prealbumin groups, the prevalence rates of postoperative complications were 27.5% and 8.0% (P = 0.003) in the MELD score ≤ 15 subgroup and 53.3% and 20.0% (P = 0.197) in the MELD score > 15 subgroup, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative prealbumin was associated with postoperative complications in LT, and preoperative nutritional support benefitted postoperative recovery, especially for patients with low MELD scores.

Abstract
This study was designed to demonstrate non-inferiority of robot-assisted total pancreatectomy (RATP) to open total pancreatectomy (OPT) based on an intention-to-treat analysis, having occurrence of severe post-operative complications (SPC) as primary study endpoint. The two groups were matched (2:1) by propensity scores. Assuming a rate of SPC of 22.5% (non-inferiority margin: 15%; α: 0.05; β: 0.20; power: 80%), a total of 25 patients were required per group. During the study period (October 2008–December 2019), 209 patients received a total pancreatectomy. After application of exclusion and inclusion criteria, matched groups were extracted from an overall cohort of 132 patients (OPT: 107; RATP: 25). Before matching, the two groups were different with respect to prevalence of cardiac disease (24.3% versus 4.0%; p = 0.03), presence of jaundice (45.8% versus 12.0%; p = 0.002), presence of a biliary drainage (23.4% versus 0; p = 0.004), history of weight loss (28.0% versus 8.0%; p = 0.04), and vein involvement (55.1% versus 28.0%) (p = 0.03). After matching, the two groups (OTP: 50; RATP: 25) were well balanced. Regarding primary study endpoint, SPC developed in 13 patients (26.0%) after OTP and in 6 patients (24.0%) after RATP (p = 0.85). Regarding secondary study endpoints, RATP was associated with longer median operating times [475 (408.8–582.5) versus 585 min (525–637.5) p = 0.003]. After a median follow-up time of 23.7 months (10.4–71), overall survival time [22.6 (11.2–81.2) versus NA (27.3–NA) p = 0.006] and cancer-specific survival [22.6 (11.2–NA) versus NA (27.3–NA) p = 0.02] were improved in patients undergoing RATP. In carefully selected patients, robot-assisted total pancreatectomy is non-inferior to open total pancreatectomy regarding occurrence of severe post-operative complications.

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 The aim of this study was to identify a preoperative inflammatory marker with the most predictive value for postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We then combined it with other perioperative variables to construct and validate a nomogram for complications after PD. Methods A total of 223 patients who received PD from January 2014 to July 2019 at a high-volume (>60 PDs/year) pancreatic centers in China were included in this retrospective study. All of the PDs were performed by the same surgeon who is beyond the learning curve with more than 100 PDs over the previous 3 years before 2014. 15 preoperative inflammatory markers were collected, including neutrophils, lymphocytes, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and lactic dehydrogenase. The inflammatory markers' predicting abilities for complications were analyzed by calculating the values of an area under the curve (AUC). The complications included surgical complications (such as pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying and bile leakage) and medical complications (such as sepsis, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, acute heart failure and acute liver failure) in this study. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the perioperative features for independent risk factors for complications after PD. Nomograms with or without the most predictive inflammatory for complications were subsequently developed based on multivariable logistic regression using Akaike information criterion. Nomograms' performance was quantified and compared in terms of calibration and discrimination. We studied the utility of the nomograms using decision curve analysis. Results The albumin/ NLR score (ANS) exhibited the highest AUC value (0.616) for predicting postoperative complications. ANS and approach method were identified as independent risk factors for complications. The nomogram with ANS had higher C-index (0.725) and better calibration. The NRI compared between nomograms was 0.160 (95% CI: 0.023-0.296; P=0.022). By decision curve analysis, the model with ANS had higher clinical value. Conclusions The ANS is a useful predictor and an independent risk factor for postoperative complications after PD. The nomogram with ANS was constructed with better performance and more clinical benefit for predicting postoperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have documented increased complications following pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients who undergo preoperative biliary stenting (PBS). However, in the modern era, the vast majority of patients with jaundice are stented. We hypothesized that there is no difference in short-term postoperative outcomes between PBS and no PBS in patient with obstructive jaundice undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS We performed an analysis using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) participant use file (2014-2017). Patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and required stenting were excluded from the analysis. A propensity-matched analysis was performed to select obstructive jaundice patients who underwent PBS and those who did not with similar characteristics prior to pancreaticoduodenectomy. Short-term postoperative outcome measures included superficial surgical site infection (S-SSI), deep surgical site infection (D-SSI), hospital length of stay (LOS), postoperative pancreatic fistula (POF), hospital readmission, minor morbidity (Clavien-Dindo I-II), major morbidity (Clavien-Dindo III, IV, V), and 30-day mortality. RESULTS A total of 5851 patients with obstructive jaundice underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy without neoadjuvant chemotherapy. 81.6% underwent PBS. Based on the propensity-matched analysis, 927 patients who received PBS and 927 patients who did not were selected for comparing the outcomes between the two groups. There was no significant difference in outcome measures between the two groups with respect to S-SSI (OR 1.30 , 95% CI = 0.94-1.80, p = 0.12), D-SSI (OR 1.07, 95% CI = 0.81-1.41, p = 0.62), POF (OR 1.11, 95% CI = 0.87-1.42, p = 0.40), hospital readmission (OR 0.99, 95% CI = 0.77-1.27, p = 0.94), minor morbidity (OR 0.91, 95% CI = 0.76-1.11, p = 0.36), major morbidity (OR 0.84, 95% CI = 0.67-1.06, p = 0.14), and 30-day mortality (OR 1.05, 95% CI = 0.57-1.95, p = 0.87). Patients who underwent PBS were more likely to have shorter LOS (RR 0.87, 95% CI = 0.81-0.93, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Contrary to previously reported studies, there was no increased risk of short-term postoperative outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy between PBS and N-PBS in a propensity-matched analysis. Preoperative biliary stenting is safe and does not need to be avoided before surgical intervention in patients who present with obstructive jaundice.

Abstract
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most serious complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), which can lead to slow recovery, deterioration, and even reoperation and death. At present, the mortality rate after PD has decreased, but the incidence of POPF is still high. Therefore, exploring the risk factors and prevention strategies for pancreatic fistula has become a hot research topic in pancreatic surgery. This paper summarizes the nature, risk factors, and preventive measures for POPF.

Does Pre-operative Biliary Drainage Influence Long-Term Survival in Patients With Obstructive Jaundice With Resectable Pancreatic Head Cancer? Front Oncol 2020; 10:575316. [PMID: 33042848 PMCID: PMC7525216 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2020.575316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2020] [Accepted: 08/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: Whether pre-operative biliary drainage (PBD) affects long-term survival of patients with obstructive jaundice with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy is still controversial. Most of the previous research did not include the important total serum bilirubin (TB) level before intervention as well as before surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of PBD on long-term survival after considering the TB level. Methods: Data were collected retrospectively from patients with obstructive jaundice who underwent resection of pancreatic head cancer in a high-volume center. X-Tile software and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were applied to determine the optimal cut-off levels for TB and age based on the minimal probability (P)-value and the largest χ2-value. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed after univariate analysis to assess independent prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Results: Of 426 patients with obstructive jaundice who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for resectable pancreatic head cancer during a 7 year period, 242 (56.8%) received PBD and 184 (43.2%) underwent surgery directly. The OS of patients who received PBD was significantly worse than that of patients who did not receive PBD by univariate analysis (median of 16.6 vs. 22.2 months, P = 0.048). After including liver function parameters in the multivariate Cox regression, we found that the use of PBD was not associated with OS or DFS, while TB before intervention >150 μmol/L was an independent adverse prognostic factor for both OS [hazard ratio (HR), 1.42; 95% CI, 1.05–1.91] and DFS (HR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.08–1.77). Conclusions: In patients with obstructive jaundice with resectable pancreatic head cancer, undergoing PBD before pancreaticoduodenectomy did not impair or benefit survival rates compared with surgery alone. However, TB before intervention >150 μmol/L predicted an unfavorable prognosis, irrespective of the PBD procedure.

Serum procalcitonin as an early diagnostic marker of severe postoperative complications after elective pancreaticoduodenectomy. JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2020; 27:767-775. [PMID: 32697893 DOI: 10.1002/jhbp.809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2020] [Revised: 06/28/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical utility of serum procalcitonin (PCT) as a diagnostic marker for the severe postoperative complications associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS A total of 387 patients were enrolled and the PCT and C-reactive protein (CRP) values were compared between the non-severe complications group (Clavien-Dindo classification Grade IIIb and lower) and severe complications (Grade IVa and higher). RESULTS Severe complications occurred in 16 patients. In the severe complications group, CRP levels peaked on postoperative day (POD) 3, whereas PCT levels peaked on POD 1. The PCT levels on PODs 1-5 were significantly higher in the severe complications group. Regarding the diagnostic performance, the PCT value on POD 2 higher than 2.1 ng/mL revealed the highest performance, with 66.7% sensitivity and 78.6% specificity. Based on the postoperative kinetics and multivariate analysis, PCT and CRP both act independently of each other and the combination assay improved the diagnostic power (area under the curve 0.781; sensitivity 60.0%; specificity 85.6%). Preoperative biliary drainage was found to affect the perioperative PCT values and subgroup analysis stratified by the drainage procedure improved diagnostic sensitivity (~85%). CONCLUSIONS Procalcitonin in the early postoperative period can serve as an earlier detector for the development of severe complications after PD.
