Key Words C-reactive protein; Pancreatic head adenocarcinoma; Pancreaticoduodenectomy; Postoperative complications; Risk stratification; Surgical quality; Textbook outcome
Core Tip Textbook outcome (TO) provides a multidimensional benchmark for pancreaticoduodenectomy, but standardized TO data from Türkiye are scarce. In this single-center cohort of pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic head adenocarcinoma, TO was achieved in 53.0% of patients. The main causes of TO failure were severe complications, readmission, and in-hospital mortality. Preoperative C-reactive protein remained the most consistent preoperative signal associated with TO achievement, and this association was not explained by biliary drainage or bilirubin. These findings position C-reactive protein as a practical marker for preoperative risk stratification rather than as a validated decision-making tool.
