A novel combined pre-operative risk score composed of radiologic main pancreatic duct diameter (mpd), body mass index (bmi), and comorbidity-polypharmacy score (cps) was found to be an independent predictor of post-operative pancreatic fistula (popf) occurrence after pancreatectomy. Patients with mpd diameter <4 mm and BMI ≥25 had a higher likelihood of developing pancreatic leak. The combined score, called cplps, can aid clinicians in surgical decision-making and counseling patients.
