Risk prediction models for delayed gastric emptying in patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Although several risk prediction models for delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) have been developed, their suitability for clinical application and future studies remains uncertain. This study aimed to systematically review published studies on risk prediction models for DGE after PD.

Design

A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Data sources

Chinese databases (such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, SinoMed and Wanfang), PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase and Scopus were searched from their inception to May 2025 to identify studies describing DGE prediction models.

Eligibility criteria

All observational studies that developed DGE prediction models for post-pancreatectomy patients were include
