Core Tip

Core Tip: Muscle wasting has a significant impact on the clinical outcomes and prognosis of patients undergoing major surgery, but there is limited research on the impact of muscle wasting on patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and the conclusions are inconsistent. This article aims to evaluate the impact of sarcopenia on the clinical outcomes of PD patients through meta-analysis, in order to provide evidence-based management for PD patients during the perioperative period. Strictly screen articles based on pre-set inclusion and exclusion criteria.
