Perioperative tight glycemic control using artificial pancreas decreases infectious complications via suppression of inflammatory cytokines in patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy: a prospective, non-randomized clinical trial

ConclusionsAmong patients undergoing PD with impaired glucose tolerance, AP facilitated strict glycemic control and resulted in a reduction of anti-inflammatory mediators and POICs.SummaryPerioperative hyperglycemia increases postoperative infectious complications; however, tight glycemic control using artificial pancreas can reduce them via a dual effect. Artificial pancreas facilitates strict and safe glycemic control while reducing anti-inflammatory mediators, including adiponectin, following pancreaticoduodenectomy.
