The primary endpoint was POICs., RESULTS:The AP group had a markedly decreased POIC rate (28.6% vs. 73.3%; P = 0.027), mean glycemic variability (13.5 ± 3.5% vs. 16.4 ± 5.9%; P = 0.038), and plasma interleukin-6 level (26.3 ± 33.8 vs 98.3 ± 89.1 pg/ml; P = 0.036) compared to the control group, but insulin dosage (27.0 ± 13.4 vs. 10.2 ± 16.2 U; P = 0.002) and the adiponectin ratio (i.e., postoperative/preoperative adiponectin; 0.8 ± 0.2 vs. 0.6 ± 0.3; P = 0.021) were markedly higher in the AP group., CONCLUSIONS:Among patients undergoing PD with impaired glucose tolerance, AP facilitated strict glycemic control and resulted in a reduction of anti-inflammatory mediators and POICs., SUMMARY:Perioperative hyperglycemia increases postoperative infectious complications; however, tight glycemic control using artificial pancreas can reduce them via a dual effect. Artificial pancreas facilitates strict and safe glycemic control while reducing anti-inflammatory mediators, including adiponectin, following pancreaticoduodenectomy., Journal Article}, title = {Perioperative tight glycemic control using artificial pancreas decreases infectious complications via suppression of inflammatory cytokines in patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy: A prospective, non-randomized clinical trial.}, year = {2019} }
