Non-US Survival Rates by Category

SPK: Patient survival at 1-year for 1999-2003 non-US SPK DD primary pancreas transplants with complete records for analysis (n=1,833) was 98%. Pancreas graft survival at 1 year was 89%; with kidney graft survival 94% (Figure 4). All survival rates are slightly but significantly higher compared to US outcomes.

The number of solitary (PAK, PTA) transplants reported from outside the US is very low, so only limited analyses could be done.  For PAK non-US 1999-2003 DD primary pancreas transplants (n=55), patient survival at 1 year was 100% and pancreas GSR was 88% vs. 79% for US cases. For PTA DD primary 1999-2003 non-US cases (n=80), patient survival at 1 year was 99%, while pancreas GSR was 66% vs. 78% for US cases (Figure 5).
