Abstrakt:	Objective: Through a systematic review and spline curve analysis, to better define the minimum volume threshold for hospitals to perform (pancreaticoduodenectomy) and the high-volume center. Background: The pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a resource-intensive procedure, with high morbidity and long hospital stays resulting in centralization towards high-volume hospitals; the published definition of high volume remains variable. Materials and Methods: Following a systematic review of studies comparing PD outcomes across volume groups, semiparametric regression modeling of morbidity (%), mortality (%), length of stay (days), lymph node harvest (number of nodes), and cost ($USD) as continuous variables were performed and fitted as a smoothed function of splines. If this showed a nonlinear association, then a "zero-crossing" technique was used, which produced "first and second derivatives" to identify volume thresholds. Results: Our analysis of 33 cohort studies (198,377 patients) showed 55 PDs/year and 43 PDs/year were the threshold value required to achieve the lowest morbidity and highest lymph node harvest, with model estimated df 5.154 ( P <0.001) and 8.254 ( P <0.001), respectively. The threshold value for mortality was ~45 PDs/year (model 9.219 ( P <0.001)), with the lowest mortality value (the optimum value) at ~70 PDs/year (ie, a high-volume center). No significant association was observed for cost ( edf =2, P =0.989) and length of stay ( edf =2.04, P =0.099). Conclusions: There is a significant benefit from the centralization of PD, with 55 PDs/year and 43 PDs/year as the threshold value required to achieve the lowest morbidity and highest lymph node harvest, respectively. To achieve mortality benefit, the minimum procedure threshold is 45 PDs/year, with the lowest and optimum mortality value (ie, a high-volume center) at approximately 70 PDs/year.
