Brief summary
There has been recent interest in understanding the costs associated with post-operative complications of patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy (removal of the distal end of the pancreas). Accurately defining the costs of complications allows institutions to make more informed decisions as to what these costs are, and then implement strategies to reduce the incidence of complications, thereby mitigating hospital costs. The aim of this study is to provide a detailed costs analysis for patients who undergo distal pancreatectomy. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult who underwent a distal pancreatectomy. Study details This study will be conducted using a review of medical records, and no patient contact is required. The study will review the medical records of adult patients who underwent a distal pancreatectomy at the Austin Hospital between 1 Jan 2012 and 31 August 2021. It is hoped that this research will help to provide a better understanding of the costs associated with major pancreatic surgery.
Interventions
In this study we will be observing complications after distal pancreatectomy and the associated hospital costs. As this is a retrospective study, there is no participant involvement. We will review the medical records of adult patients who underwent a distal pancreatectomy at the Austin Hospital between 1 Jan 2012 and 31 July 2021.
We will review all the International Classification Diseases (ICD) codes relevant to distal pancreatectomy. These include:
1. 2022 ICD-10-Procedure Coding System 0
