Analysis of physical activity levels and influencing factors in cancer survivors after pancreaticoduodenectomy

Although half of the cancer survivors after pancreaticoduodenectomy experienced active physical activity, only a small percentage of individuals met the guideline-recommended level of aerobic exercise. More physical activity support should be provided to cancer survivors after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Moreover, operation duration, postoperative pancreatic fistula, and follow-up time should be taken into consideration when giving exercise instructions to postoperative survivors of pancreaticoduodenectomy.
