NCT03400280

Brief Summary

This Nationwide stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial is designed to evaluate if the implementation of a best practice algorithm for postoperative care results in a decrease in incidence of major complications and death after pancreatic resection as compared to current practice.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Composite primary endpoint

    The primary endpoint of this trial is a composite of the most severe complications associated to postoperative pancreatic fistula. This endpoint will be considered positive if one of the following complications occurs within 90 days after pancreatic resection: late postpancreatectomy bleeding, new-onset organ failure and/or death

    90 days after index pancreatic resection

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Postoperative mortality

    90 days after index pancreatic resection

  • New-onset organ failure

    90 days after index pancreatic resection

  • Late postpancreatectomy bleeding

    90 days after index pancreatic resection

  • Postoperative morbidity

    90 days after index pancreatic resection

  • Adjuvant chemotherapy

    90 days after index pancreatic resection

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Best practice

EXPERIMENTAL

Postoperative care according to a best practice algorithm for postoperative care focussing on early detection and minimally invasive management of postoperative pancreatic fistula.

Other: Best practice algorithm for postoperative care

Current practice

NO INTERVENTION
