This study based on a huge data set from mainland China compared post-transplant survival of patients fulfilling Milan or Hangzhou criteria between SLT and PLT groups with propensity score matching analysis. Furthermore, we developed risk stratification system based on the nomogram to classify SLT recipients.

The incidence of new-onset diabetes after distal pancreatectomy remains high, particularly in patients with benign or low-grade malignant pancreatic lesions. The novel nomogram has satisfactory accuracy, reliability and utility in predicting post-pancreatectomy diabetes and may facilitate clinical decision-making by enhancing intervention and reducing unnecessary costs.
