RAW Study: Patient Outcomes for Jaundice Management Before Pancreaticoduodenectomy

1,172 patient records from the international, multicentre Recurrence After Whipple (RAW) study analyze the impact of preoperative jaundice management on survival and complications. Data was collected retrospectively for patients with pancreatic head, ampullary, or distal bile duct cancer who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Use Cases

• Compare survival outcomes based on preoperative jaundice treatment pathway mentioned in the description
• Analyze the association between preoperative biliary drainage and disease-free survival as described in the results
• Model the risk of postoperative complications relative to jaundice status as stratified in the study

Strengths

• Includes data from 1,172 patients across an international, multicentre cohort
• Provides specific hazard ratios and confidence intervals for survival outcomes as reported in the results
• Stratifies patients into three distinct preoperative management groups for comparative analysis

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data is a 450 KB DOCX file, suggesting a small, likely summary-level dataset rather than a full patient-level database
