Pancreatic Calcification and Pathologic Fibrosis Score: Correlation With Islet Yield and Insulin Independence After Total Pancreatectomy With Islet Autotransplantation (TPIAT)
Increasing severity of calcification burden in the pancreatic body/tail was associated with around 1500 IEQ/kg reduction in islet yield following TPIAT for chronic pancreatitis. The presence of pancreatic head calcifications may be associated with a more favorable islet yield.
