Objective: This study aimed to identify the preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative factors affecting 10-year pancreas allograft survival after simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) transplantation.
Methods: Analysis was performed on a prospectively maintained database of 56 SPK transplants consecutively performed between January 1992 and October 2002. The definition cutoff points of specific variables were obtained by the receiver operating characteristic curve and multiple logistic regression analyses that were performed to determine the predictors of pancreas allograft survival after 10 years.
