| Purpose of the guideline: |
Pancreatic surgery is complex, and the incidence of malnutrition and other nutrition related problems is high.
In 2020, the project leader, together with the experts from the pancreatic surgery group of the Chinese Medical Association and CSPEN, conducted a snapshot survey on the perioperative nutrition management of pancreaticoduodenectomy among 96 doctors from 64 class III hospitals in 22 provinces, and found the problems of nutrition support. The Chinese expert consensus on perioperative nutrition management in pancreatic surgery (2020 Edition) was formulated and published in the Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery. The consensus consists of 8 parts and 42 recommendations, which have been widely recognized. However, there are also some controversies and deficiencies in the consensus, which have been put on hold temporarily.
In recent years, more high-level evidence studies have been published. Therefore, after discussing with experts who made the consensus, it is proposed to upgrade the consensus into a guideline, so as to make higher-level recommendations, promote the development of reasonable nutritional support, and ultimately benefit patients. |
