Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of various scales in predicting postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) using MRI techniques focusing on factors like pancreatic duct diameter and intra-abdominal fat thickness.
- - Conducted from January 2017 to December 2021, the study involved 133 pancreatoduodenectomies with 96 patients analyzed; 26 developed overall POPF and 8 had clinically relevant POPF (CR-POPF).
- - The Birmingham score emerged as the most accurate predictor for overall POPF and CR-POPF, with an area under the curve (AUC) indicating high predictive capability, suggesting it should be utilized in clinical practice for patients undergoing this surgery.
