Validation of original and alternative fistula risk scores in postoperative pancreatic fistula

摘要

Background In 2013, the fistula risk score (FRS) was developed to assess the risk of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF). In 2017, the alternative FRS (a-FRS) was proposed. The purpose of this study was to validate the original FRS (o-FRS) and a-FRS for CR-POPF in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods From January 2007 to December 2016, 1,771 patients underwent PD for periampullary cancers. POPF was defined and classified according to the 2016 International Study Group for Pancreatic Fistula. All data were reviewed retrospectively.
