Risk factor analysis for pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy for Vater′s ampullary carcinoma / 中华胰腺病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To identify the risk factors of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for Vater′s ampullary carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 93 Vater's ampullary carcinoma patients who had undergone PD in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 was retrospectively analyzed. According to the occurrence of CR-POPF, all patients were divided into the CR-POPF group and no CR-POPF group. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis by logistic regression model were performed for perioperative risk factors of CR-POPF to identify the independent risk factors for CR-POPF after PD for Vater's ampullary carcinoma.Results:44 patients developed CR-POPF and the rate of CR-POPF was 47.3%(44/93). The most frequently detected microorganisms from abdominal drain fluid after operation were Klebsiella pneumoniae (25.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (19.4%), Enterobacter cloacae (11.8%) and Enterococcus faecium (10.7%). The results of univariate analysis showed that operation time, C-reactive protein (CRP) on postoperative day (POD)1, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium in the abdominal drainage were statistically different between the two groups (all P value <0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that CRP on POD1 ( OR 1.029, 95% CI 1.003-1.055, P=0.026), Klebsiella pneumoniae( OR 8.671, 95% CI 2.366-31.772, P=0.001), Enterococcus faecalis( OR 10.497, 95% CI 2.306-41.776, P=0.002) and Enterococcus faecium ( OR 22.580, 95% CI 2.303-221.403, P=0.007) in the abdominal drainage were independent risk factors for the development of CR-POPF after PD for Vater′s ampullary carcinoma. Conclusions:CRP on POD1, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium in the drain samples were independent risk factors for the development of CR-POPF after PD for Vater′s ampullary carcinoma.
