Abstract:BackgroundClinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR‐POPF) after pancreatic resection can lead to severe postoperative complications. POPF is defined based on postoperative day (POD) 3 drainage fluid amylase level. POPF correlates with inflammatory parameters as well as drainage fluid bacterial infection. However, a standardized model based on these factors for predicting CR‐POPF remains elusive. We aimed to identify inflammatory parameter‐ and drainage fluid culture‐related risk factors for CR‐P… Show more
