Abstract
- Background: Pancreas transplants (PTx) from pediatric donors (PDs, age Methods: We retrospectively analyzed perioperative surgical complications and graft survival in T1D recipients of PTA or pancreas after kidney (PAK) transplant from PDs or adult donors (ADs) between Jan 2010 and May 2018. Data were collected through electronic medical record review. Results: A total of 43 PTx recipients (35 PTA) had data available for analyses. Age at PTx was 40.0±8.3 years, T1D duration 25±10 years, 46.5% female, BMI 23±3 k/m2. Nearly half (49%) pancreas grafts were from PDs. Median donor age was 18 [IQR: 16] years (min. 2, max 45 years). Donor characteristics (age, BMI, body surface area [BSA]) significantly differed between groups (all p Conclusions: PTx from PDs tended to be associated with less surgical complications vs. PTx from ADs. Graft survival was similar. Expanding selection criteria to include PDs would increase the availability of pancreas grafts and possibly improve clinical outcomes. Disclosure C. Conte: None. C.
