BACKGROUND: The role of diabetes mellitus (DM) in pancreatic fistula (PF) or clinical relevant PF (CR-PF) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) or pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) is unclear. ...BACKGROUND: The role of diabetes mellitus (DM) in pancreatic fistula (PF) or clinical relevant PF (CR-PF) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) or pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) is unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between DM and PF or CR-PF.DATA SOURCES: Embase, MEDLINE and Cochrane databases were searched systematically for relevant articles from January 2005 to June 2013. The selected studies that examined clinical risk factors of PF or CR-PF were included. We created pooled estimates for our outcomes using the random-effects model. RESULTS: Sixteen observational clinical studies were included. Pooling of PF rates from ten studies revealed that DM was associated with a decreased risk of PF (P=0.01). CR-PF rates from 8 studies showed no significant difference between DM and control group (P=0.14). CONCLUSIONS: DM is not a risk factor for PF in patients undergoing PD or PPPD. On the contrary, patients without DM are at a higher risk of PF because the pancreases in these patients have more fatty tissue and the pancreas is soft.展开更多
