Preoperative pancreatic CT value is related to pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pancreatic fistula (PF) is the main complication in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Computed tomography (CT) value can reflect pancreatic tissue characteristics which is related to PF. This study was designed to study the relationship between the preoperative CT value and pancreatic fistula.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and medical data of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy from 2017 to 2021. The pancreatic CT value and the CT value ratios of the pancreas and abdominal aorta (P_CT/A_CT) were measured and compared between the PF group and non-PF group. The values in different PF severity groups were compared using variance analysis. A cut-off value was selected by receiver operating characteristic (ROC)
