The feasibility of pancreas transplantation (PT) in older recipients remains a matter of debate. We examined the influence of recipient age on PT outcomes and identified the prognostic factors for older recipients.
We compared the outcomes of PT in recipients aged < 50 years (younger group; n = 285) with those in recipients aged ≥ 50 years (older group; n = 94). Prognostic factors in the older group were analyzed by a logistic regression model and the influence of recipient age on survival outcomes were analyzed using propensity score matching.
The patient survival rate was significantly worse in the older group (P < 0.001). Patient death from infection or/and multiple organ failure or cardiac/cerebrovascular events was also more frequent in the older group than in the younger group (P = 0.012 and P = 0.045, respectively). A longer duration of diabetes was an independent risk factor of 1-year mortality in the older group. In a propensity score-matched comparison, the older recipients (n = 77) had significantly poorer survival than the younger recipients (n = 77) (P = 0.026).
PT should be considered with appropriate caution, especially for older recipients with a long duration of diabetes.
胰腺移植(PT)在老年受者中的可行性仍存在争议。我们研究了受者年龄对PT结果的影响,并确定了老年受者的预后因素。
我们比较了年龄<50岁的受者(年轻组;n = 285)与年龄≥50岁的受者(老年组;n = 94)的PT结果。通过逻辑回归模型分析老年组的预后因素,并使用倾向评分匹配分析受者年龄对生存结果的影响。
老年组的患者生存率明显较差(P<0.001)。老年组因感染或/和多器官衰竭或心脏/脑血管事件导致的患者死亡也比年轻组更频繁(分别为P = 0.012和P = 0.045)。糖尿病病程较长是老年组1年死亡率的独立危险因素。在倾向评分匹配比较中,老年受者(n = 77)的生存率明显低于年轻受者(n = 77)(P = 0.026)。
应谨慎考虑胰腺移植,尤其是对于糖尿病病程较长的老年受者。
