Data are reported as n or as mean ± SD. p values were calculated using chi-squared or Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, as appropriate.
*
p values < 0.05 (bold) were considered statistically significant.
CRP, C-reactive protein; EUS-TD, endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage; PD, percutaneous drainage; POPC, postoperative pancreatic collection.
