Defining postoperative weight change after pancreatectomy: Factors associated with distinct and dynamic weight trajectories

Background Weight change offers the simplest indication of a patient’s recovery after an operation. There have been no studies that have thoroughly investigated postoperative weight dynamics after pancreatectomy. The aim of this study was to define postoperative weight change after a pancreatectomy and determine factors associated with optimal and poor weight trajectories. Methods From 2004 to 2019, 1,090 proximal (65%) and distal (35%)...
