The impact of the preoperative value of phase angle in bioelectrical impedance analysis on postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy

Key Points

• The study aims to evaluate whether preoperative phase angle can predict postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
• Analyzed preoperative phase angle measurements using bioelectrical impedance analysis.
• Identified patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.
• Evaluated postoperative complications in relation to phase angle values.
• Higher preoperative phase angle values correlated with fewer postoperative complications.
• Phase angle may help identify patients needing enhanced preoperative nutritional support.
