Immediate Postoperative Insulin Requirements May Predict Metabolic Outcome after Total Pancreatectomy and Islet Autotransplantation

Figure 4

Absolute postoperative basal insulin requirement per kilogram (insulin units/kg) in the immediate postoperative period of 72 hours showed a positive correlation with basal insulin requirement (insulin units) at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively. These correlations were consistently strong and significant through 12 months postsurgery.
