The Effect of Overtime Pancreaticoduodenectomy on the Short-term Prognosis of Patients(EOPSPP)

Surgeons sometimes need to work overtime or even stay up late to perform pancreaticoduodenectomy. Fatigue and sleep deprivation can result in an increased error rate at work. The effect of overtime work for pancreaticoduodenectomy on the prognosis of patients is unclear. The study explores the impact of overtime work for pancreaticoduodenectomy on the prognosis of patients. This was a single-center, retrospective study. The patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in Peking University People's Hospital between 2017 and 2019 were included. Patients were stratified by operative start time into the control group (surgery that started between 8:00 and 16:49) and the overtime group (surgery that started between 17:00 and 22:00) and compared intraoperative and postoperative parameters to clarify the impact of overtime surgery on the short-term prognosis of patients.
