A retrospective analysis of 370 patients who underwent pancreatic resection surgery in Austria revealed that the incidence of postoperative diabetes mellitus (postopdm) was 29%. Postopdm occurred significantly more frequently in patients with malignant pancreatic diseases compared to benign diseases (31.3% vs. 16.7%). The study highlights the prominence of diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for both malignant and non-malignant pancreatic diseases and its unfavorable impact on outcomes, particularly in patients with pancreatic cancer.
