OBJECTIVE: Islet autotransplantation (IAT) may decrease the morbidity and mortality of postpancreatectomy diabetes mellitus. The current systematic review and meta-analysis examined the rate of insulin independence (II) and mortality after IAT post-total (TP) or partial pancreatectomy (PP). METHODS: Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS and reference lists were searched until 31 January 2011. Eligible studies enrolled adult patients with IAT post-TP or PP, regardless of study design, sample size and language. Two investigators identified eligible studies and extracted data independently. From each study, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated and pooled using random effects meta-analysis. RESULTS: Fifteen observational studies were eligible (11 IAT post-TP, two post-PP and two including both). The II rates for IAT post-TP at last follow-up and transiently during the study were 4·62 per 100 person-years (95% CI: 1·53-7·72) and 8·34 per 100 person-years (95% CI: 3·32-13·37), respectively. In the later group, patients achieved transient II lasting 15·57 months (95% CI: 10·35-20·79). The II rate at last follow-up for IAT post-PP was 24·28 per 100 person-years (95% CI: 0·00-48·96). Whereas the 30-day mortality for IAT post-TP and post-PP was 5% (95% CI: 2-10%) and 0, respectively, the long-term mortality was 1·38 per 100 person-years (95% CI: 0·66-2·11) and 0·70 per 100 person-years (95% CI: 0·00-1·80) respectively. CONCLUSIONS: IAT postpancreatectomy offers some patients a chance for insulin independence. Better data reporting are essential to establish the risks and benefits of IAT after pancreatic surgery.
