Background: In the recent PORSCH trial, a three-part postpancreatectomy care algorithm was employed with a near 50 % reduction in mortality. We hypothesized that clinical care congruent with this protocol would correlate with better outcomes in our patients.
Methods: Real-world postoperative care was compared to the pathway described by the PORSCH trial and patients were assigned into groups based on congruence with its recommendations. The primary composite outcome (PCO) consisted of 90-day mortality, organ failure, and interventions for bleeding.
Results: Of 289 patients, care of 12 % was entirely congruent with the PORSCH algorithm. The PCO was recorded in 9 % of the PORSCH care group, 8 % of the Partial-PORSCH care group, and 19 % of the Non-PORSCH care group (p = 0.044). Adverse outcomes were highest when pancreaticoduodenectomy patients received care incongruent with the algorithm's CT imaging recommendations.
Conclusions: These results add external validity to the principles of clinical care underlying the PORSCH algorithm.

Risk Models for Developing Pancreatic Fistula After Pancreatoduodenectomy: Validation in a Nationwide Prospective Cohort.

Objective: To evaluate the performance of published fistula risk models by external validation, and to identify independent risk factors for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF).
Background: Multiple risk models have been developed to predict POPF after pancreatoduodenectomy. External validation in high-quality prospective cohorts is, however, lacking or only performed for individual models.

A postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the main complication after cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy (CPD). Unlike its prevention, the curative management of POPFs has long been poorly codified. This review seeks best practices for managing POPFs after CPD.

We performed a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized noninferiority trial to compare same-day osmotic dilators plus misoprostol with overnight osmotic dilators alone for cervical preparation before dilation and evacuation (D&E) between 16 0/7 and 19 6/7 weeks of gestation. The primary outcome was procedure time. The study was halted early owing to poor accrual.
