External validation and comparison of 3 pancreatic fistula risk scores were performed in 200 laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy patients. The recalibrated updated alternative fistula risk score showed sufficient discrimination and calibration for predicting clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula, with better performance in predicting general postoperative pancreatic fistula than clinically relevant cases. Pancreatic texture, pathology, and duct diameter were key discriminators.
