To the Editor：We read with outstanding interest the article by Celik et al. It is the first external description of the Hamburg＇s preoperative pancreatic resection （PREPARE） score since it was published in 2014 by Uzunoglu et al. According to the latter authors, it is necessary to stratify risk of major morbidity and mortality before performing a pancreatic resection, and PREPARE score is a simple index, validated in a multicenter cohort of patients undergoing this group of technically demanding procedures.
