Abstract

Aim: Central pancreatectomy is a pancreas-sparing alternative to standard pancreatic resections, and it is associated with substantial morbidity. The aim of the present study is to assess the utility of the POSSUM scoring system in the prediction of the postoperative complications after central pancreatectomy, which would help identify the patients who are at the highest risk of developing complications., Methods: A retrospective analysis of 24 patients who underwent central pancreatectomies (2002-2010) was performed. The POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and was correlated with observed morbidity., Results: The mean POSSUM score was 32, thus predicting morbidity in 9 out of 24 patients. This risk assessment proved to be quite accurate, as 13 patients (54%) actually developed postoperative complications (chi-squared = 3.2101, p = 0.073). The predictive value of the POSSUM was strongest for the < or = 20%, 60-80% and > or = 80% morbidity risk cohorts (O/E ratio 1)., Conclusions: The identification of a scoring system to predict the development of severe complications after central pancreatectomy may stratify the patients' risk and lead to a tailored approach of this surgical procedure. Although POSSUM seems to predict morbidity after central pancreatectomy, further studies involving larger numbers of patients should be conducted to confirm this effect.

Abstract

European Cancer Organisation Essential Requirements for Quality Cancer Care (ERQCC) are written by experts representing all disciplines involved in cancer care in Europe. They give patients, health professionals, managers and policymakers a guide to essential care throughout the patient journey. Pancreatic cancer is an increasing cause of cancer mortality and has wide variation in treatment and care in Europe. It is a major healthcare burden and has complex diagnosis and treatment challenges. Care must be carried out only in pancreatic cancer units or centres that have a core multidisciplinary team (MDT) and an extended team of health professionals detailed here. Such units are far from universal in European countries. To meet European aspirations for comprehensive cancer control, healthcare organisations must consider the requirements in this paper, paying particular attention to multidisciplinarity and patient-centred pathways from diagnosis, to treatment, to survivorship.
