Abstract
The development of postoperative infectious complications is a major determinant of outcome after pancreaticoduodenectomy. In this setting, the reliable negative predictors of the outcome include preoperative biliary drain, site of infection, multidrug-resistant bacteria infections and type of bacteria. Multisite infection was found to be the best predictor of a worse postoperative course after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
