TL;DR: In this article, an international panel of pancreatic surgeons, working in well-known, high-volume centers, reviewed the literature on the topic and worked together to develop a simple, objective, reliable, and easy-to-apply definition of postoperative pancreatic fistula, graded primarily on clinical impact.

TL;DR: This international, web-based consensus provides clear definitions to classify acute pancreatitis using easily identified clinical and radiologic criteria and should encourage widespread adoption.

TL;DR: The International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) developed an objective and generally applicable definition with grades of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) based primarily on severity and clinical impact as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: An objective, universally accepted definition and clinical grading of PPH is important for the appropriate management and use of interventions in PPH and would allow comparisons of results from future clinical trials.

TL;DR: Adding gastric bypass surgery to lifestyle and medical management was associated with a greater likelihood of achieving the composite goal of HbA1c less than 7.0%, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol less than 100 mg/dL, and systolic blood pressure less than 130 mm Hg.
