Deceased organ donor factors influencing pancreatic graft transplantation and survival.

abstract：BACKGROUND:End-stage renal disease is associated with illness-induced disruptions that challenge patients and their families to accommodate and adapt. However, the impact of patients' marital status on kidney transplant outcome has never been studied. This project, based on data from United States Renal Data System (US...
