“…Again, results were comparable when including only the 49 studies that assessed the MPD intraoperatively (OR 3.21, 95% CI 2.70-3.81, P < 0.01) The studies included for analysis used different cutoff values for MPD diameter. Twelve studies 10,44,55,59,63,72,75,77,81,83,123,124 including 4660 patients classified MPD diameter of r 3mm as a high risk for CR-POPF development (OR 2.99, 95% CI 2.17-4.13, P < 0.01). Another 20 studies 11,29,30,33,37,39,44,45,[48][49][50][51]58,61,62,64,74,79,87,125 with 9067 patients used MPD diameter of ≤3 mm as the high-risk cut-off, although the results were comparable (OR 3.66, 95% CI 2.62-5.12, P < 0.01).…”
