Novel risk scoring system for prediction of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

CONCLUSION: This study established a 10-point scoring system to predict CR-POPF after PD/PPPD using preoperative and intraoperative parameters. Ultimately, this system could be used to distinguish between high- and low-risk populations in order to facilitate timely interventions after PD. PMID: 31210716 [PubMed - in process]
