Abstract
Background/purpose null Early drain removal (EDR) based on drain fluid amylase level (DFA) after pancreaticoduodenectomy excluded 15%-40% patients from EDR because of inappropriate DFA. null Methods null Of 198 pancreatoduodenectomy cases, we used the first 105 cases as an exploration cohort to construct the optimal criteria for EDR on postoperative day (POD)4 that were applied to the subsequent 93 cases used as the validation cohort.
