Epidemiology, risk factors, and impact of bacterial infections on outcomes for pancreatic grafts.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Previously, increasing age has been a part of the exclusion criteria used when determining eligibility for a pancreas transplant. However, the analysis of pancreas transplantation outcomes based on age groupings has largely been based on single-center reports. METHODS:A UNOS database review of all adult p...
