BACKGROUND: The level of utilization and acceptance of the 2005 International Study Group for Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) definition for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) has not be quantified. The aim of this study was to determine the uptake of the ISGPF definition and evaluate its use in the surgical literature.

METHODS: A sample of primary studies, review articles, and textbooks were identified through screening of literature searches. Included citations were assessed for their definition of POPF and use of the ISGPF criteria.

RESULTS: From 2006 to 2009, 6%-63% of primary papers were compliant with the ISGPF definition compared to 84%-98% from 2010 onwards. Of the primary studies compliant with the ISGPF criteria, 36% focused on grade B and C fistula and 15% did not report grade A fistula. 88% of European papers used the criteria compared to 77% and 72% of Asian and North American papers, respectively (p = 0.033). 46% of review articles and textbooks did not define POPF. Among those that defined POPF, 74% cited the ISGPF definition exclusively while 26% mentioned other definitions.

CONCLUSION: The ISGPF criteria have been widely adopted and accepted as the standard for defining POPF, although the utility of grade A fistulas is questionable.
