Pancreatic Fat and Body Composition Measurements by Computed Tomography are Associated with Pancreatic Fistula After Pancreatectomy

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most threatening complication after pancreatectomy. This study aimed to directly assess pancreatic fatty infiltration with preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging and to investigate whether a preoperative analysis of patient variables, including CT characteristics and clinical factors, can predict POPF. We enrolled 150 consecutive patients who underwent curative pancreatectomy. Radiographic...
