Kochi University414 enrolled

Overview

Aims: The relationship between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) results and post-hepatectomy complications is unknown. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for post-hepatectomy complications from the BIA results. Methods: This prospective, observational cohort study reviewed the data of patients who underwent hepatectomy between March 2018 and December 2022. The patients were matched using the following propensity score covariates: biliary enteric anastomosis and major hepatectomy. Risk factors for postoperative complications were investigated in a matched cohort.
