This study aimed to define clinically significant LPF among patients undergoing partial pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) or total pancreatoduodenectomy (TP) and to identify perioperative risk factors associated with its incidence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients undergoing partial PD\/TP between 2014 and 2017 were identified from a prospectively maintained database. Various criteria for identifying LPF over time (that is, on postoperative days 1\u20134) were evaluated for clinical significance based on their association with liver-specific complications. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to determine the association of LPF with relevant outcome parameters and perioperative risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the analysis of 815 patients, the optimal LPF model was identified as an increase in liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)) \u2265 200\u2005U\/l for two consecutive days (LPF_2d). LPF severity was categorized as no LPF (AST\/ALT &amp;lt; 200\u2005U\/l), mild (AST\/ALT \u2265 200\u2013&amp;lt; 500\u2005U\/l), moderate (AST\/ALT \u2265 500\u2013&amp;lt; 1000\u2005U\/l), and severe (AST\/ALT \u2265 1000\u2005U\/l). In all, 81 patients were identified with LPF: 29 (3.6%), 29, and 23 with mild, moderate, and severe LPF, respectively. The occurrence of LPF was significantly associated with postoperative outcomes, including liver-specific complications, liver failure, need for radiological interventions, length of intensive care unit stay, and 90-day mortality. Multivariable analysis identified coeliac axis stenosis, arterial resection, and duration of the operation as independent risk factors for LPF.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>LPF is an underrated and serious postoperative complication in patients undergoing partial PD or TP. Based on the proposed definition (LPF_2d), LPF occurs in 9% of patients, is clinically relevant, and is associated with postoperative complications.<\/jats:p>\n
