Fear of diabetes and major surgery may prohibit referral of young children severely impacted by pancreatitis for total pancreatectomy and islet autotransplant (TPIAT). We evaluated outcomes in our youngest TPIAT recipients, age 3–8 years at surgery. Medical records were reviewed for 17 children (9 female) age ≤8 years undergoing TPIAT from 2000–2014. Most (14/17) had genetic risk factors for pancreatitis. Since 2006, TPIAT recipients were followed prospectively with health questionnaires including assessments of pain and narcotic use, and scheduled HbA1c and mixed meal tolerance tests (6 mL/kg Boost HP) before surgery, and at regular intervals after. Patients are 1–11 years post TPIAT (median 2.2 years). Data are reported as median (25th, 75th percentile). All had relief of pain, with all 17 patients off narcotics at most recent follow up. Hospitalization rates decreased from 5.0 hospitalization episodes per person-year of follow up before TPIAT, to 0.35 episodes per person-year of follow up after TPIAT. Fourteen (82%) discontinued insulin, higher than the observed insulin independence rate of 41% in 399 patients >8 years of age undergoing TPIAT over the same interval (p=0.004). Median post-TPIAT HbA1c was 5.9% (5.6, 6.3%), and within patient post-TPIAT mean HbA1c was ≤6.5% for all but 2 patients. Very young children with severe refractory chronic pancreatitis may be good candidates for TPIAT, with high rates of pain relief and insulin independence, and excellent glycemic control in the majority.
