A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating an Accelerated 5 Day Pathway for Discharge Following Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD): Whipple Accelerated Recovery Pathway (WARP Trial)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Pancreaticoduodenectomy for Pancreatic Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 98 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This randomized clinical trial studies accelerated recovery pathway for discharge after surgery in patients with pancreatic cancer. A standardized accelerated recovery pathway may improve outcomes after surgery following complex abdominal operations resulting in a shorter length of stay in patients with pancreatic cancer. It may also help patients to mobilize more quickly and return to the home setting, decrease hospital-acquired infectious complications, and increase potential cost savings. It is not yet known whether an accelerated recovery pathway is better than a standard recovery pathway for discharge following surgery in patients with pancreatic cancer.
