New risk score for distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection (DP-CAR)

2019-01-06

The DP-CAR procedure is a treatment option for selected patients. To develop and validate a new risk score, Klompmaker et al. used patient data collected at centers located in Europe, the USA and Japan. The risk score predicts the risk of 90-day mortality using age, gender, ASA status, BMI, Multivisceral procedure, surgical approach, and hospital volume. The paper by Klompmaker et al. was published in the Annals of Surgical Oncology. The risk score was made publicly available on Evidencio just a few days before the paper was published online in the Annals of Surgical Oncology. Physicians with an interest in pancreatic cancer may also want to have a look at www.pancreascalculator.com where a list of clinical calculators is published that are being endorsed by the Dutch Pancreatic Cancer Group (DPCG).
