Anticoagulation in simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation - On what basis?

Table 1 Comparison of risk factors for graft thrombosis

Parameters	TEG group	CCT group	Statistical significance
Median donor age	49 yr (n = 17)	38 yr (n = 51)	P = 0.16 Mann-Whitney test
Proportion of DCD grafts, n (%)	4 (23.53)	12 (23.53)	P > 0.99 Fisher’s exact test
Proportion of recipients with portal vein extension, n (%)	3 (17.65)	7 (13.73)	P = 0.70 Fisher’s exact test
Proportion of recipients with prolonged cold ischemic time(> 12 h) for the pancreas graft, n (%)	7 (41.18)	27 (52.94)	P = 0.58 Fisher’s exact test
Median peak serum amylase in the first two weeks after transplant	191 IU/L	312 IU/L	P = 0.09 Mann-Whitney test
Median peak C-reactive protein in the first two weeks after transplant	148.6	160.6	P = 0.54 Mann-Whitney test

TEG: Thromboelastogram; CCT: Conventional coagulation tests; DCD: Donors after circulatory death.
