NCT06541340

Brief Summary

Severe obstructive jaundice caused by pancreatic head cancer usually requires preoperative biliary drainage, but its necessity and effectiveness are controversial, and specific strategies lack clear standards. This study proposed a new strategy for preoperative biliary drainage using serum prealbumin as the main evaluation index, and compared it with the traditional strategy using serum total bilirubin as the main evaluation index. Through a randomized, controlled, multicenter prospective study, we explored the effects of different drainage strategies on the incidence of in-hospital complications and long-term prognosis of patients with resectable pancreatic head cancer, guided clinical decisions on preoperative drainage time and surgical timing, and provided high-quality evidence-based medicine for preoperative biliary drainage of pancreatic head cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • In-hospital complications

    In-hospital complications are comprehensively evaluated by the chief surgeon, responsible doctor and their team based on clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, etc., and reviewed by the expert committee of this study. The name of the complication, time of occurrence, treatment measures and outcome are strictly recorded.

    During hospitalization, up tp 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Recurrence/metastasis

    12 months after discharge

  • Mortality

    12 months after discharge

  • Long-term complications

    12 months after discharge
