Delayed gastric emptying after Pancreaticoduodenectomy: a propensity score-matched analysis and clinical Nomogram study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common and frustrating complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Studies suggest that surgical methods and other clinical characteristics may affect the occurrence of DGE. Nevertheless, the results of such studies are conflicting. The objective of this work was to perform a propensity score matching analysis to compare the differences between pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) and pylorus-removing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PrPD) and to develop and validate a nomogram to predict the probability of severe DGE (SDGE).

Methods

This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent PD at our institution from December 2009 to December 2018. Propensity score matching was applied at a ratio of 1:1 to compare PPPD and
