Drain Lipase Levels and Decreased Rate of Drain Amylase Levels as Independent Predictors of Pancreatic Fistula with Nomogram After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has recently been improved due to its increased safety. However, postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains a lethal complication of PD. Identifying novel clinicophysiological risk factors for POPF during the early post-PD period would help improve patient morbidity and mortality. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to evaluate possible risk factors during the early postoperative period after...
