Abstract

For many patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and selected patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a successful pancreas transplant is the only definitive long-term treatment that both restores euglycaemia without the risk of severe hypoglycaemia and prevents, halts or reverses secondary complications. These benefits come at the cost of major surgery and lifelong immunosuppression. Nevertheless, pancreas transplants are safe and effective, with patient survival rates currently >95% at 1 year and >88% at 5 years; graft survival rates are almost 85% at 1 year and >60% at 5 years. The estimated half-life of a pancreas graft is now 7-14 years. The improvements in graft survival are attributable to considerable reductions in technical failures and in immunologic graft losses. Pancreas recipients have reduced mortality compared with waiting candidates or patients with diabetes mellitus who undergo a kidney transplant alone. Pancreas transplants should be more frequently offered to nonuraemic patients with brittle diabetes mellitus to prevent the development of secondary diabetic complications and to avoid the need for a kidney transplant. Although the results of islet transplantation have also improved, islet recipients rarely maintain long-term insulin independence despite the use of multiple organ donor pancreases. Pancreas transplants and islet transplants should be considered complementary, not mutually exclusive, procedures that are chosen on the basis of the individual patient's surgical risk.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
