Abstract
Success of clinical islet transplantation depends on obtaining appropriate islet preparation. The aim of this study was to identify factors which influence transplantation islet yields. In 1998-2002 231 islets isolations were performed. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed with the following variables: donor characteristics, organ procurement, pancreas evaluation, islet digestion and purification parameters. Analysis of islet eligibility for transplantation showed in logistic regression following independent factors: 1) islet isolation number above 250000 IE (OR=11,5; CI 4,6-27,6; p
