Textbook Outcome in Distal Pancreatectomy

NCT05423288 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 450

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The auditing of results and improving the quality of care are key aspects of surgical activity. Patients, hospitals and health institutions need information on the results obtained with specific procedures. The most commonly used method to assess quality of care is the measurement of postoperative complications, hospital stay, and readmission rates. Other assessment tools such as benchmarking allow comparisons to be made between centers.

In 2013, Kolfschoten et al. introduced a new measure called textbook outcome (TO), a single indicator that combines several traditional care measures: the absence of postoperative complications, no prolongation of hospital stay (\< 75th percentile), no mortality and no readmissions. All these parameters must be fulfilled in order to achieve textbook outcome (TO).

The investigators analyze the achievement of TO in a multicenter DP database using a specific TO for distal pancreatectomy (DP) (TO-DP) which includes clinically-relevant pancreatic fistula (grade B/C).
