About this study

This retrospective observational population-based cohort study analzes the German Diagnostic-Related Group database and included all children with pancreatic procedures between 2010 and 2023. The primary outcomes are mortality rates, complication rates, and sex differences related to surgical indication and pancreatic procedure. Descriptive epidemiological and multivariable regression analyses are performed to identify risk factors of mortality and occurrence of perioperative complications.
