Decoding grade B pancreatic fistula: a clinical and economical analysis and subclassification proposal
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe characteristics and management
approaches for grade B pancreatic fistula (B-POPF) and investigate whether it segregates
into distinct subclasses. Background: The 2016 ISGPS refined definition of B-POPF is
predicated on various postoperative management approaches, ranging from prolonged
drainage to interventional procedures, but the spectrum of clinical severity within this entity is
yet undefined. Methods: Pancreatectomies performed at 2 institutions from 2007 to 2016 …

Background: The 2016 ISGPS refined definition of grade B fistula (B-POPF) is predicated on
various post-operative management approaches, ranging from prolonged drainage to
interventional procedures. However, the spectrum of clinical severity within this entity is yet
undefined. Methods: Pancreatectomies performed at two institutions from 2007 to 2016 were
reviewed to identify B-POPFs and their treatment strategies. Sub-classification of B-POPFs
into three groups was modeled after the Fistula Accordion Severity Grading System (B1 …
