Accuracy of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Patients After Total Pancreatectomy with Islet Autotransplantation.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Among postsurgical and critically ill patients, malglycemia is associated with increased complications. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in the inpatient population may enhance glycemic control. CGM reliability may be compromised by postsurgical complications such as edema or vascular changes. We utilized Clarke Error Grid (CEG) and Surveillance Error Grid (SEG) analysis to evaluate CGM performance after total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS:This subanalysis evaluated Medtronic Enlite 2 CGM values against YSI serum glucose in seven post-transplant patients (86% female; 38.6?±?9.4 years) on artificial pancreas for 72?h at transition from intravenous to subcutaneous insulin. Sensor recalibration occurred for absolute relative difference (ARD) ?20% x2, ?30% x1, or by investigator discretion based on trend. RESULTS:Sensor analysis showed mean absolute relative difference (MARD) of 11.0%?±?11.5%. The sensors were recalibrated 8.3 times/day; active sensor was switched 1.4 times/day. Calibration factor was 7.692?±?3.786?mg/nA·dL (target?=?1.5-20?mg/nA·dL). CEG analysis showed 86.1% of pairs in Zone A (clinically accurate zone) and 99.4% of pairs in Zones A?+?B (low risk of error). SEG analysis of hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia risk showed 92.22% of pairs in the "no risk" zone, 5.96% of pairs in the "slight lower" risk zone, 1.01% of pairs in the "slight higher" risk zone, and only 0.81% of pairs in the "moderate lower" risk zone. CONCLUSIONS:Overall performance of the Medtronic Enlite 2 CGM in the post-transplant population was reasonably good with "no risk" or "slight lower" risk by SEG analysis and high CGM-YSI agreement by CEG analysis; however, frequent recalibrations were required in this intensive care population.

Project description:ImportancePain management of patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) can be challenging. Laparoscopy has been associated with markedly reduced postoperative pain but has not been widely applied to total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT).ObjectiveTo examine the feasibility of using laparoscopic TPIAT (L-TPIAT) in the treatment of CP.Design, setting, and participantsThirty-two patients with CP presented for TPIAT at a tertiary hospital from January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2015. Of the 22 patients who underwent L-TPIAT, 2 patients converted to an open procedure because of difficult anatomy and prior surgery. Pain and glycemic outcomes were recorded at follow-up visits every 3 to 6 months postoperatively.Main outcomes and measuresOperative outcomes included operative time, islet isolation time, warm ischemia time, islet equivalent (IE) counts, estimated blood loss, fluid resuscitation, and blood transfusions. Postoperative outcomes included length of stay, all-cause 30-day readmission rate, postoperative complications, mortality rate, subjective pain measurements, opioid use, random C-peptide levels, insulin requirements, and glycated hemoglobin level.ResultsOf the 32 patients who presented for TPIAT, 20 underwent L-TPIAT (8 men and 12 women; mean [SD] age, 39 [13] years; age range, 21-58 years). Indication for surgery was CP attributable to genetic mutation (n = 9), idiopathic pancreatitis (n = 6), idiopathic pancreatitis with pancreas divisum (n = 3), and alcohol abuse (n = 2). Mean (SD) operative time was 493 (78) minutes, islet isolation time was 185 (37) minutes, and warm ischemia time was 51 (62) minutes. The mean (SD) IE count was 1325 (1093) IE/kg. The mean (SD) length of stay was 11 (5) days, and the all-cause 30-day readmission rate was 35% (7 of 20 patients). None of the patients experienced postoperative surgical site infection, hernia, or small-bowel obstruction, and none died. Eighteen patients (90%) had a decrease or complete resolution of pain, and 12 patients (60%) no longer required opioid therapy at a median follow-up period of 6 months. Postoperative random insulin C-peptide levels were detectable in 19 patients (95%) at a median follow-up of 10.4 months. At a median follow-up of 12.5 months, 5 patients (25%) were insulin independent, whereas 9 patients (45%) required 1 to 10 U/d, 5 patients (25%) required 11 to 20 U/d, and 1 patient (5%) required greater than 20 U/d of basal insulin. The mean (SD) glycated hemoglobin level was 7.4% (0.5%).Conclusions and relevanceThis study represents the first series of L-TPIAT, demonstrating its safety and feasibility. Our approach enables patients to experience shorter operative times and the benefits of laparoscopy, including reduced length of stay and quicker opioid independence.

Project description:Background & aimsTherapeutic options are limited for patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis who have intractable symptoms despite maximal endoscopic and medical treatment, but equivocal or no morphologic or functional evidence of chronic pancreatitis. We performed a prospective observational cohort study to determine the efficacy of total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) for these patients.MethodsWe collected data from all patients undergoing TPIAT at the University of Minnesota from 2007 through 2013; 49 patients (42 female; mean age, 32.8 ± 7.8 years) had a diagnosis of recurrent acute pancreatitis not provoked by intervention, with negative or equivocal findings from nondiagnostic imaging or pancreatic function tests for chronic pancreatitis, and intractable pain between episodes. Data on insulin use, narcotic requirements, pain scores, and health-related quality of life were collected before TPIAT; 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year afterward; and then yearly.ResultsAll 49 patients studied required narcotics before TPIAT (45 daily users and 4 intermittent users); 2 had insulin-treated diabetes. At 1 year after TPIAT, 22 out of 48 patients (46%) reported no use of narcotic pain medications (P < .001 vs baseline). Health-related quality of life score, measured by the physical and mental component summary score, increased by approximately 1 standard deviation from the population mean (P < .001 for the physical component summary; P = .019 for the mental component summary). At 1 year after TPIAT, 21 out of 48 patients (45%) were insulin independent; their mean percent glycosylated hemoglobin A1c at 1 year after TPIAT was 6.0% ± 0.9% (5.2% ± 0.6% pre-TPIAT).ConclusionsPatients with recurrent acute pancreatitis but lacking clear chronic pancreatitis benefit from TPIAT, with outcomes similar to those previously described for patients with chronic pancreatitis (improved quality of life and reduced narcotic use). For these patients who have otherwise limited surgical treatment options, TPIAT can be considered when medical and endoscopic therapies have failed.
