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

Dat Tien Le's prospective cohort study tracks quality of life changes in 111 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary tumors at the University Medical Center of Ho Chi Minh City from January 2019 to May 2021. Patients were assessed preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-discharge using the SF-36 questionnaire. The dataset includes demographics, comorbidities, tumor staging, complications, and survival data analyzed with SPSS 20.0.

Use Cases

• Modeling temporal recovery patterns in quality of life based on SF-36 scores collected at five time points.
• Identifying risk factors for poor post-surgical outcomes based on variables like malignancy, comorbidities, and complications.
• Comparing quality of life trajectories between laparoscopic and open surgical approaches mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Longitudinal design with quality of life assessments at five specific time points: baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-discharge.
• Includes detailed clinical variables for 111 patients, such as demographics, tumor staging, and postoperative complications like fistulas (30.6% occurrence).
• Analysis includes statistical tests (paired Wilcoxon tests and regression models) to evaluate significance of findings.

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 Vietnam.
