Quality of Life Changes After Pancreaticoduodenectomy, 2019-2021 Vietnam Cohort

111 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary tumors were assessed for quality of life changes from before surgery to 12 months post-discharge. The prospective cohort study was conducted at the University Medical Center of Ho Chi Minh City by Dat Tien Le, with data collected from January 2019 to May 2021. QoL declined at 1 month post-surgery but improved from 3 months onward, surpassing pre-treatment levels.

Use Cases

• Modeling the trajectory of quality-of-life recovery based on patient demographics and surgical complications mentioned in the description.
• Identifying risk factors for poor post-operative outcomes based on variables like malignancy, comorbidities, and cholangitis.
• Comparing quality-of-life outcomes between laparoscopic and open surgical approaches for periampullary tumors.
• Analyzing the relationship between post-operative complications, such as fistulas, and subsequent patient-reported health scores.

Strengths

• Includes longitudinal data with QoL assessments at 5 time points: baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-discharge.
• Dataset covers 111 patients with detailed clinical variables, including tumor type, surgical approach, and complication rates.
• Analysis includes statistical results from paired Wilcoxon tests and regression models, indicating structured analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single medical center in Ho Chi Minh City.
