Why the study?
Preoperative identification of patients at high risk for serious postoperative outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy is important for their management.

Zengin et al. (2025) conducted a cohort in Periampullary tumor (n=92). Preoperative serum albumin was evaluated on Serious postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III) (OR 0.867, 95% CI 0.761-0.989, p=0.034).
