Preoperative Inflammatory Biomarkers and Postoperative Day 1 Drain Amylase Value Predict Pancreatic Fistula After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

April 22, 2020 updated by: Damiano Caputo, Campus Bio-Medico University

Preoperative Systemic Inflammatory Biomarkers and Postoperative Day 1 Drain Amylase Value Predict Grade C Pancreatic Fistula After Pancreaticoduodenectomy: a Retrospective Single Center Experience

Particularly, pancreatic fistula is the most common and serious complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and is reported in up to 40% of cases. The aim of this retrospective single-center study was to investigate the utility of the combination of preoperative inflammation biomarkers (PIBs) with postoperative day 1 drains amylase (POD1-d.a.) levels in predicting grade C Pancreatic Fistula (PF).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Data from a prospective collected database of 317 consecutive PDs performed at the University Campus Bio-Medico di Roma during the years 2005-2019, have been retrospectively analyzed. Local Ethical Committee approved the study.

Patients undergoing PD for periampullary neoplasms were included in the study. All patients underwent to PD with pancreaticojejunostomy reconstruction. Two surgical drains were always placed at the end of the surgery.

Data regarding PIBs, as full blood count including white blood cell (WBC) count, lymphocytes, neutrophils and platelets counts, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (d-NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and POD1-d.a. levels were collected and Positive Predictive Values (PPV) and Negative Predictive Values (NPV) were computed to investigate the probability to develop PF combining PIBs and drains amylase values.

Study Population

According to the inclusion criteria, 227 patients were eligible for the study. The median age of all the series was 69 years (IQR= 60.25-74). Male patients were 131 (57.7%), the median BMI was 24.06 Kg/m2 (IQR= 22.15-27.59). Biochemical leak, grade B and grade C PF have been detected in 67/227 (29.5%), 21/227 (9.25%) and 22/227 (9.7%) of the cases, respectively.
