Abstract
Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a well-described complication following pancreatic resection, ranging up to 30% incidence even in high-volume centers. Clinically relevant POPF (CRPOPF) is associated with increased hospital length of stay, patient morbidity and mortality, and overall cost. Preoperative predictors of CRPOPF can aid in risk stratification and decision making. We assessed simple preoperative imaging features to identify patients at increased risk of developing CRPOPF after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).
