Fistula Risk Score (FRS)

Clinical Context & Background

The Fistula Risk Score (FRS) (Callery et al.) predicts the development of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) after a Whipple procedure. It guides intraoperative decisions (e.g. drain placement, anastomotic technique).
Primary Source EvidenceCallery MP, Pratt WB, Kent TS, Chaikof EL, Vollmer CM Jr. A prospectively validated clinical risk score accurately predicts pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy. J Am Coll Surg. 2013;216(1):1-14.
Formula Logic
