Calculator

 

For your academic needs, the Pancreas Club is developing a set of free web-based calculators. Currently available below is the Calculator for Leak and DGE using the ISGPS Defilition. We are currently designing and beta testing the Acute Pancreatitis severity calculator.

Calculator for Leak and DGE using the ISGPS Definition

This is a calculator of the new standardized definition for postoperative pancreatic "fistula" (POPF) or "leak". Also included is the calculator for delayed gastric emptying (DGE). After clinical testing with actual data, the calculator uses a slightly modified definition of the definition published from the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS). These definitions have been published by Bassi, et al., Surgery 2005; 138:8-13 and Wente, et al., Surgery 2007; 142:761-8. For the first time, we can use a consensus definition and also now it is facilitated by this calculator.
