Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Background: Obesity is associated with perioperative complications and has been considered a risk factor for surgical outcomes of patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the amount of visceral fat on postoperative morbidity of patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods: We reviewed 181 patients who underwent surgery for periampullary lesions at the Department of Surgery, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University Health System between January 2003 and June 2010. The visceral fat area (VFA) and subcutaneous fat area were calculated by computed tomography software. Results: The mean body mass index (BMI) was 23.4 kg/m (±3.1 kg/m ), and the mean VFA was 94.4 cm (±49.5 cm ). The mean intraoperative blood loss, and the incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (grade B/C) and clinically relevant delayed gastric emptying (grade B/C) were significantly higher in the high-VFA group (≥100 cm ). In univariate analysis, the incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (grade B/C) was significantly higher in the high-BMI group (≥25 kg/m ), the high-VFA group(≥100 cm ), the large intraoperative blood loss and transfusion group, and in patients with pathology of nonpancreatic origin (ampulla, bile duct, or duodenum). In multivariate analysis, the high-VFA group (≥100 cm ) and patients with pathology of nonpancreatic origin were identified as independent factors for clinically relevant pancreatic fistula. Conclusion: VFA is a better indicator for the development of pancreatic fistula after PD than BMI. High VFA (≥100 cm ) is a risk factor for developing a pancreatic fistula after PD. © 2012 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.
