Predictive Risk Factors for Pancreatic Fistula Grade C After Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Prospective Large Observational Study

Pancreatic fistula (PF) grade C, defined by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) is associated with a life-threatening complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD). Therefore, The aim of this study is to clarify the risk factors for grade C PF by Japan and Taiwan cooperative project.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Pancreatic fistula (PF) grade C, defined by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) is associated with a life-threatening complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD). The rate of grade C PF has been reported 2.5-6%, however, it is critical complication after PD. A large number of enrolled patients will be needed to clarify the risk factors for grade C PF. Therefore, this study design is prospective large observational study at multi-center in Japan and Taiwan.
