Association Between Preoperative HALP and Immediate Postoperative Outcomes

Multiple inflammation-based prognostic scores have been developed for the prediction of perioperative morbidity and mortality following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Preoperative "Hemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocytes and Platelets index (HALP)" is one of the promising inflammatory markers that has emerged as a predictor of postoperative survival. To date, no study has been done with preoperative HALP to predict 30days morbidity and mortality. Is there any association between Preoperative HALP (hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet) and 30 days post operative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing Pancreaticoduodenectomy?
