Prognostic factors for long-term survival after pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary adenocarcinoma. A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Periampullary adenocarcinoma (PAAC) had a poor prognosis, and pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains the only potentially curative treatment. The study aimed to identify the impact of different clinicopathological factors on long-term survival following PD for PAAC.

Patients and methods

This study is a retrospective cohort study for the patients who underwent PD for pathologically proven PAAC from January 2010 to January 2019. Statistical analysis was done using Cox regression multivariate analyses for independent risk factors for survival.

Result

There were 137 patients with PAAC who underwent PD, 79 patients (57.7%) underwent pylorus-preserving PD. Pancreatico-jejunostomy was done in 108 patients (78.8%). The primary analysis showed that risk factors for po
