Use of octreotide for the prevention fistula after elective pancreatic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Can J Surg 2007; 50: 459¿466.
Published: 1st January 2007
Authors: Alghamdi AA, Jawas AM, Hart RS.
Conclusion
Octreotide reduced the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula (relative risk 0.59, 95 per cent confidence interval 0.41 to 0.85, P=0.004), but did not affect overall mortality in this analysis that included seven studies involving 1359 patients.
