“…After propensity matching with 152 patients included in each arm, this difference vanished to yield statistically equivalent rates of CR‐POPF in RPD and OPD. In contrast, improvement in rates of CR‐POPF was independently associated with RPD in recent reviews 51,53 . In a single‐institution study, a fistula risk score was calculated based on pancreatic texture, duct size, and blood loss with RPD having statistically better CR‐POPF outcomes for those anastomoses rated moderate‐risk (7.1% vs. 15.2%, p = .008).…”
