However, a longer time period between declaration of brain death and organ procurement (procurement interval) is associated with improved outcomes in kidney, liver, heart, and lung transplantation. The aim of this study was to find the optimal procurement interval for pancreas transplantation. Association of procurement interval with pancreas graft outcomes was analyzed using multivariable models adjusted for variables possibly affecting procurement interval and outcomes. Altogether 10,119 pancreas transplantations were included from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. The median follow-up was 3.2 (IQR 1.01\u20136.50) years. During the first year, 832 (9.0%) grafts were lost, including 555 (6.0%) within the first 30\u00a0days. Longer procurement interval was associated with increased death-censored graft survival in a multivariable model (HR 0.944 95% CI 0.917\u20130.972, per 10-h increase, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001). A decreasing hazard of graft loss was observed also with 1-year, but not with 30-day graft survival. During 1-year follow-up, 953 (12.1%) patients had an acute rejection, and longer procurement interval was also associated with less acute rejections (OR 0.937 95% CI 0.900\u20130.976, per 10-h increase, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002) in the multivariable model. In conclusion, longer procurement interval is associated with improved long-term outcomes in pancreas transplantation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/ti.2023.11332","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,4]],"date-time":"2023-07-04T11:49:54Z","timestamp":1688471394000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Association
