BACKGROUND

Serum albumin has been shown to be predictive of complications after various gastrointestinal operations. The present study aimed to assess whether preoperative serum albumin and serum albumin drop on postoperative day 1 are associated with postoperative complications after pancreatic surgery.

METHODS

A single-center cross-sectional study was performed. All patients who underwent pancreatectomy between January 2010 and June 2019 and had preoperative serum albumin value and serum albumin value on postoperative day 1 were included. ΔAlb was defined as the difference between preoperative serum albumin and serum albumin on postoperative day 1. Binary logistic regressions were performed to determine independent predictors of postoperative complications.

RESULTS

A total of 185 patients were included. Pancreatoduodenectomies were performed in 133 cases, left pancreatectomies in 36, and other pancreas operations in 16. The preoperative serum albumin value was found to be an independent predictor of complications (OR 0.9, 95%CI 0.9-1.0, p = 0.041), whereas ΔAlb was not significantly associated with postoperative complications (OR 1.0, 95%CI 0.9-1.1, p = 0.787). The threshold of 44.5 g/L for preoperative albumin level was found to have the highest combined sensitivity and specificity based on the maximum Youden index. Patients with preoperative albumin < 44.5 g/L had a higher incidence of postoperative complications and higher median comprehensive complication index than patients with preoperative albumin ≥ 44.5 g/L.

CONCLUSIONS

This study highlighted that preoperative serum albumin is an independent predictor of postoperative complications after pancreas surgery.
