Core Tip	Pancreatoduodenectomy remains a challenging procedure with substantial potential for morbidity and mortality. Prognostic tools to preoperatively identify patients at high risk for postoperative complications could help tailor their perioperative management and optimize treatment outcomes. Due to its objectivity and simplicity being based on routine laboratory parameters, the albumin-bilirubin score can readily be implicated in clinical routine. We evaluated the clinical significance of preoperative albumin-bilirubin score in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy in relation to short-term postoperative outcomes, namely postoperative complications, pancreatic fistula, reoperation, and mortality. Additionally, other potential risk factors were assessed as well. In case of their recognition, the operating surgeon may opt for alternative management options to avoid unfavourable postoperative outcomes.
