Schematic overview of algorithm. Schematic overview of the study algorithm. Daily evaluation starts on postoperative day (POD) 3 and includes vital parameters (i.e. temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate), C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), drain production, drain amylase level and a daily consult by a pancreatic surgeon. The algorithm will provide advice on three levels: indication of abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan, removal of abdominal drain(s), indication for (invasive) intervention based on systematic evaluation of abdominal CT scan
