Abstrakt:	Backgrounds/aims: Post-operative pancreatic fistulas (POPF) are a major source of morbidity following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This study aims to investigate if persistent lymphopenia, a known marker of sepsis, can act as an additional marker of POPF with clinical implications that could help direct drain management. Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent PD in a single hospital network from 2008 to 2018. Persistent lymphopenia was defined as lymphopenia beyond post-operative day #3. Results: Of the 201 patients who underwent PD during the study period 161 patients had relevant laboratory data, 81 of whom had persistent lymphopenia. 17 patients with persistent lymphopenia went on to develop a POPF, compared to 7 patients without. Persistent lymphopenia had a negative predictive value of 91.3%. Multivariate analysis revealed only persistent lymphopenia as being independently associated with POPF (HR 2.57, 95% CI 1.07-6.643, p =0.039). Patients with persistent lymphopenia were more likely to have a complication requiring intervention (56.8% vs 35.0%, p <0.001). Conclusions: Persistent lymphopenia is a readily available early marker of POPF that holds the potential to identify clinically relevant POPF in patients where no surgical drain is present, and to act as an adjunct of drain amylase helping to guide drain management.
