BACKGROUND: The ISGPS classification of post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) was recently revised, introducing the concept of biochemical leak (BL) which replaced grade A POPF. More recently, an additional distinction on three different subclasses for grade B (B1-B3) POPF was proposed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of these modifications in clinical practice. METHODS: All pancreatico-duodenectomies (PD) and distal pancreatectomies (DP) performed between 2010 and 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. Incidence and grade of POPF using the old and new ISGPS classification were evaluated. Three grade B subclasses (B1: maintenance of abdominal drain >3 weeks; B2: adoption of specific medical treatments for POPF; B3: use of radiological procedures) were evaluated for clinical severity. RESULTS: A total of 716 patients (502 PD, 214 DP) were evaluated. The new ISGPS classification reduced the reported rate of POPF (30.7% vs 35.2% for PD, pâ¯>â¯0.05; 28% vs 44.9% for DP, pâ¯<â¯0.05), due to the abolition of grade A POPF. Grade B1, B2 and B3 rates were 3.1%, 73.8% and 23.1% in PD and 12.3%, 47.4% and 40.3% in DP, respectively. Passing from B1 to B3, significant increases in wound infection (0-40%), mean length of stay in PD (14.7-22.5 days; pâ¯<â¯0.05) and readmission rate in DP (0-39.1%) were observed. CONCLUSIONS: The new ISGPS classification significantly reduces the reported rate of POPF, particularly after DP. The three different grade B subclasses (B1-B3) better discriminate the severity of post-operative course, especially after PD.
