---|---|---|---|
Drain amylase level on POD 3, U/l | 2 234 (405–126 400) | 356 (24–27 475) | < 0.001 |
> 3 times ULN amylase on POD 3, Yes/ No | 31 (100%) / 0 (%) | 25 (46.3%) / 29 (53.7%) | < 0.001 |
Drainage day*, POD | - | 13 (3–34) | |
Drain amylase level on drainage day*, U/L | - | 24,794 (15–183,560) |
