Development of Prediction Models for Major Morbidity and Endocrine Dysfunction after Central Pancreatectomy

A retrospective multicenter study aimed to develop prediction models for major morbidity and endocrine dysfunction following central pancreatectomy (CP). The study included 838 patients from 51 centers in 19 countries. The risk model for major morbidity identified male sex, age, BMI, and ASA score ≥3 as significant factors. The risk model for endocrine dysfunction revealed higher BMI and male sex as predictors. These models aid in tailoring the use of CP for patients with benign and premalignant lesions in the pancreas.
