How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (time frame: 3.5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
