About this study

The aim of this study was to assess the risk and complications after preoperative drainage of biliary obstruction in patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy.

A retrospective cohort study of all patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy from January 1st, 2015 to September 30th, 2021. Patients who had preoperative bile duct drainage were compared to patients without intervention. Type of interventions, complications and outcome after surgery were compared using univariate and multivariate analysis.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive jaundice is a common problem in pancreatic and periampullary tumors, but preoperative biliary drainage in patients with hyperbilirubinemia is still controversial. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to assess the risk and complications after preoperative drainage of biliary obstruction in patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy.

A retrospective cohort study of all patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy from January 1st, 2015 to September 30th, 2021.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Post-operative complication score (Clavien-Dindo)

    The prevalence of complications graded according to Clavien-Dindo score after pancreatoduodenectomy. Clavien-Dindo 0 is no complications, Clavien-Dindo 5 means complications resulting in mortality.

    Measured: During hospital admission, median time 13 days, up to 390 days.

  2. 30-day Mortality

    30-day mortality rate post-pancreatoduodenectomy

    Measured: up to 30 days

  3. 90-day Mortality

    90-day mortality rate post-pancreatoduodenectomy

    Measured: up to 90 days

  4. Length of Hospital Stay

    Accumulated length of hospital stay from the admission day prior to pancreatoduodenectomy, till the day of discharge.

    Measured: Days from admission until discharge, up to 390 days, median time 13 days

  5. 30-day Readmission

    Prevalence of readmission within 30-days after discharge following pancreatoduodenectomy.

    Measured: up to 30-days from hospital discharge

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Complications following preoperative bile duct drainage

    Prevalence of cholangitis, pancreatitis, iatrogenic perforation, post-procedural bleeding and post-procedural thrombosis

    Measured: up to 7 days after bile duct drainage

  2. Time from Bile Duct Drainage to Pancreatoduodenectomy

    Time from Bile Duct Decompression to pancreatoduodenectomy.

    Measured: Days from bile duct decompression to pancreatoduodenectomy, median time 32 days, up to 534 days

  3. Histological Specimen

    Histological diagnosis of the resection specimens divided in malignant (ductal adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, papillary carcinoma, duodenal adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumor, other pancreatic carcinoma, other malignancy in the pancreas) and benign (IPMN, other benign diseases).

    Measured: Obtained within 21 days after resection
