Examining blood and interstitial fluid glucose levels in pancreatic surgery patients

A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study on the Association Between Perioperative Blood and Interstitial Fluid Glucose Level and Clinically Relevant Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula in Different Pancreatic Surgeries

Observational Peking Union Medical College Hospital · NCT06289530

This study is trying to see if tracking blood and fluid sugar levels can help predict the risk of complications after pancreatic surgery for patients undergoing certain procedures.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the risk factors for clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) in patients undergoing elective pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy. It aims to explore the correlation between perioperative blood and interstitial fluid glucose levels and the occurrence of CR-POPF. The study will enroll 600 patients over a 6-month period, utilizing non-invasive continuous glucose monitoring to track glucose trends. Participants will undergo standard postoperative follow-up without additional interventions.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients scheduled for elective pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, or duodenum-preserving resection of the pancreatic head.

Not a fit: Patients with functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, previous pancreatic surgery, or severe pancreatitis may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify patients at risk for postoperative pancreatic fistula, potentially improving surgical outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored glucose monitoring in surgical settings, but this specific approach to CR-POPF is novel.
