Impact of neoadjuvant therapy on short-term outcomes after left pancreatectomy: A propensity score–matched international multicenter study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant therapy is protective of postoperative pancreatic fistula in pancreatoduodenectomy. However, the effect of neoadjuvant therapy after left pancreatectomy remains unclear. The aim of this international multicenter study was to evaluate the impact of neoadjuvant therapy on short term outcomes after left pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. METHODS: Patients undergoing left pancreatectomy from January 2010 to April 2023 at 9 high-volume centers were included. Patients treated with neoadjuvant therapy were compared to patients with upfront surgery. Propensity score matching in 1:1 fashion was used. The primary outcome was postoperative pancreatic fistula. RESULTS: Six-hundred-fifty patients underwent resection due to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, of which 70 patients (10.8%) received neoadjuvant therapy. In the matched cohort (upfront surgery, 66 patients; neoadjuvant therapy, 66 patients), the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula was similar in patients undergoing upfront surgery versus patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy (16 [24.2%] vs 13 [19.7%], P = .674, respectively). No statistically significant differences were observed between neoadjuvant therapy and upfront surgery group with respect to grade C-POPF, readmission, reoperation, postpancreatectomy hemorrhage, 90-day mortality, and severe complications. CONCLUSION: Neoadjuvant therapy was not associated with decreased rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula in patients undergoing left pancreatectomy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
