- Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and clinical course of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) following pancreaticoduodenectomy, focusing on the role of adjuvant chemotherapy and other metabolic changes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 189 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between 2013 and 2016. NAFLD was diagnosed using computed tomography (CT) imaging, defined as a liver-to-spleen attenuation ratio <0.9. Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity were assessed using preoperative CT scans. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for NAFLD development.
Results: The cumulative incidence of NAFLD increased over time, with rates of 15.9% at one year, 20.4% at three years, and 35.2% at five years post-pancreaticoduodenectomy. Adjuvant chemotherapy was identified as the only significant independent predictor of NAFLD development (odds ratio, 2.74; 95% confidence interval, 1.16-6.70; P=0.023). No significant associations were found between NAFLD and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), sarcopenia, or sarcopenic obesity. Serial analysis of NAFLD status in long-term survivors revealed dynamic changes, with some patients experiencing spontaneous remission or recurrence.
Conclusion: NAFLD is a common, progressive complication following pancreaticoduodenectomy, particularly in patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. Although no significant associations with PERT or sarcopenia were observed, these areas warrant further investigation. Long-term monitoring and targeted management strategies are recommended to address NAFLD in this population. Future prospective studies are needed to elucidate the natural history and contributing factors of NAFLD after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract

- Purpose: This study compared the preoperative nutritional status between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic patients and examined the effects of sarcopenia on the prognosis after a pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).
Materials and Methods: From 2015 to 2016, 480 patients who underwent PD with periampullary cancer at Samsung Medical Center, Seoul National University Boramae Medical Center, Ilsan Paik Hospital, and Ajou University Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Sarcopenia was measured from the cross-sectional visceral fat and muscle area on CT imaging using an automatic calculation program. The dysnutritional grade was assessed according to Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score system.
Results: Preoperative serum albumin (3.9 g/dl) and cholesterol levels (161.7 mg/dl) of sarcopenic patients were significantly lower than those of the non-sarcopenia patients (4.0 g/dl, P=0.024; 176.1 mg/dl, P=0.005). The proportion of moderate-to-severe dysnutritional grade in sarcopenic patients was significantly higher than in the non-sarcopenic patients (20.0 vs. 8.1%, P=0.004). A comparison of the changes in albumin between before and after PD showed a decrease in sarcopenic patients (0.06 vs. 0.05, P=0.024). Sarcopenia itself was not a factor affecting the overall survival (OS) negatively, but moderate-to-severe dysnutritional grade was an independent risk factor for OS (HR 2.418, CI 1.424~4.107, P=0.001).
Conclusion: Patients with sarcopenia showed poorer preoperative nutritional status than those without sarcopenia, and the sarcopenia affected the postoperative nutritional status negatively. No direct correlation was observed between sarcopenia and OS, but the dysnutritional grade was an independent risk factor that affects OS. As a result, patients with sarcopenia could be affected indirectly for survival because of their poor nutritional status.
