PROMs After Pancreatectomy

The standard of care for a patient with resectable pancreatic is to perform pancreatic resection which, even in the modern era is associated with significant complications and impact on quality of life, often in the setting of poor survival even in the best scenario. Currently, there is a lack of data on patient quality of life after such procedures, how quality of life changes throughout the course of care, and whether patients who undergo these procedures are satisfied with their decision. This research is aimed to understand the impact of pancreatic surgery on patients' quality of life, how that impact changes over time, and patient satisfaction (or regret) with their decisions. This work will help improve the pre-operative conversation to help patients decide whether undergoing a pancreatic resection aligns with their post-operative goals of care.
