Impact of immunosuppression on incidence of post-transplant diabetes mellitus in solid organ transplant recipients: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Solid organ transplantation is a life-saving intervention for end-stage organ disease. Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common complication in solid organ transplant recipients, and significantly compromises long-term survival beyond a year.

Aim: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate incidence of PTDM and compare the effects of the 3 major immunosuppressants on incidence of PTDM.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of post-transplant diabetes mellitus in liver transplant recipients.

Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) compromises long-term survival in liver transplant (LT) recipients. The aim of this study was to determine incidence of PTDM after LT and risk factors associated with it. A literature search was conducted, and prospective studies that reported on the incidence of PTDM in LT adult patients on tacrolimus, sirolimus, or cyclosporine were included.
