Postpancreatectomy Hemorrhage Risk Factors, 2005-2023 Patient Cohort

A retrospective cohort of 659 pancreatoduodenectomy patients from January 2005 to December 2023, analyzed by Shixing Wu. The dataset includes patient characteristics, surgical factors, and outcomes, with an overall postpancreatectomy hemorrhage incidence of 9.3%. It was used to investigate the correlation between postoperative pancreatic fistula and hemorrhage.

Use Cases

• Identify independent risk factors for late postpancreatectomy hemorrhage based on multivariate analysis results.
• Analyze the correlation between postoperative pancreatic fluid accumulation and hemorrhage based on day 5 measurements.
• Study the association between clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula and hemorrhage based on reported rates.
• Investigate the impact of significant intraoperative blood loss on surgical outcomes based on the >1,000 mL threshold.

Strengths

• Includes 659 patient records from a nearly 19-year period (2005-2023).
• Multivariate analysis identified specific, quantified risk factors (e.g., blood loss >1,000 mL).
• Reports concrete incidence rates, such as 9.3% for overall postpancreatectomy hemorrhage.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Data is from a single center, which may reflect institutional bias.
• The 18.4 KB file size suggests a very limited scope of variables.
