Pancreatic Necrosectomy: Predicting the morbidity and mortality of pancreatic debridment

Noah J Swann, MD, Nobel Letendre, BS, Brian Cox, MD, James Recabaren, MD, FACS. Huntington Hospital

Introduction: Debridement of pancreatic necrosis is traditionally considered a morbid procedure. Previous multi-center studies using 2007 data have demonstrated 6.8% 30-day mortality for pancreatic necrosectomy; Laparoscopic and percutaneous management of pancreatic and peri-pancreatic necrosis have become increasingly prevalent, but haven’t fully supplanted the traditional open pancreatic Necrosectomy.

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of pancreatic necrosectomy. Patient demographics, Ranson criteria, patient morbidity and mortality (both observed and expected) were analyzed. A multivariate stepwise regression was performed to analyze the clinical and laboratory parameters predictive of mortality. Patient demographics and comorbidities were analyzed. Post-operative complications were also evaluated.

Participants: The NSQIP national database was searched for all patients who had pancreatic or peri-pancreatic debridement using the Current Procedural Technology (CPT) code 48015 from January 1st, 2007 to December 31st 2015. After exclusion,1590 patients were identified during a 9 year interval.

Results: The patient population was predominantly male (71.2%) and Caucasian (69.8%). The mean age was 53.2 years; mean BMI was 29.7. Smokers comprised 24.1% of the cohort, with 33.9% of the cohort manifesting diabetes. The in hospital mortality (30 day) was 6.8%. Patient BMI (OR 1.02-1.07), Age (1.01-1.03), BUN (1.02–1.03), INR (1.48–4.46), albumin (0.36–0.54) and total bilirubin (1.16-1.31) were independent predictors of mortality. All of these factors reached statistical significance with p-values < 0.05 and significant odds ratios.

Conclusions: Our data demonstrates that pancreatic and peri-pancreatic debridement continues to be a morbid procedure, with 30 day in-hospital mortality (6.8%) and overall morbidity similar to previous multi-center studies. We reaffirmed that BUN and Age were independent risk factors for mortality. BMI, INR, total bilirubin and albumin have also been demonstrated to be independent markers for mortality.
