Brief summary
Islet transplantation is associated with a benefit on glycaemic control compared to optimized insulin therapy in recent clinical trials. However, there is a lack of evidence concerning the long-term impact of islet transplantation on type 1 diabetic kidney transplant recipients' prognosis. The objective of the study is to assess the impact of islet transplantation in patients with type 1 diabetes and a kidney transplantation on the risk of graft failure. Every type 1 diabetic recipient transplanted with a kidney in France between 2000 and 2017 is included. Patients transplanted with pancreatic islets are compared to controls treated with insulin alone according to a matching method based on time-dependent propensity scores which allow to ensure patients comparability at the time of islet transplantation. Time-dependent propensity scores are built according to variables associated with both the probabilities of being transplanted with islets and the outcome of interest. These variables are assessed by a direct acyclic graph. The primary outcome consists in death-uncensored graft survival, defined by death or return to dialysis. Secondary outcomes include the risk of death, or the risk of death-censored graft survival.
Interventions
Pancreatic islet transplantation consists in the intrahepatic transplantation of pancreatic islets, as a result of enzymatic digestion of a deceased-donor pancreas.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Patient-graft survival | From the date of islet transplantation (or time-point equivalent in the control group) until the date of death from any cause or return to dialysis, whichever comes first, assessed up to 240 months. | Patient-graft survival by death-uncensored graft survival, i.e. the return to dialysis or death |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Patient survival | From the date of islet transplantation (or time-point equivalent in the control group) until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 240 months |
| Death-censored graft survival | From the date of islet transplantation (or time-point equivalent in the control group) until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 240 months |
