Quality of Life Changes After Pancreaticoduodenectomy, 2019-2021 Cohort

111 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary tumors were assessed for quality of life changes from pre-surgery to 12 months post-discharge. The prospective cohort study was conducted at the University Medical Center of Ho Chi Minh City from January 2019 to May 2021. Data includes demographics, comorbidities, tumor staging, complications, and survival, analyzed using SF-36 questionnaires at five time points.

Use Cases

• Modeling the trajectory of physical and emotional quality-of-life recovery based on time points mentioned in the description.
• Identifying risk factors (e.g., malignancy, comorbidities, complications) associated with poorer quality-of-life outcomes as described in the results.
• Comparing recovery patterns between laparoscopic and open surgical approaches for pancreaticoduodenectomy.
• Analyzing the relationship between postoperative complications, such as fistulas, and subsequent quality-of-life scores.

Strengths

• Longitudinal data with quality-of-life assessments at five specific time points: baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-discharge.
• Includes detailed clinical and demographic data for 111 patients, with specific counts for cancer types and surgical methods.
• Study design is a prospective cohort, which typically provides stronger evidence than retrospective analyses.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data reflects a single-center study in Ho Chi Minh City, which may limit generalizability to other populations.
