Summary

This study is testing a new blood test called ICIS to see if it can detect infections earlier in patients recovering from pancreatic surgery. Researchers will track ICIS levels in 400 adults during their hospital stay, using routine blood samples. The goal is to improve early infection detection, support safer recovery, and reduce complications after surgery.
