Popis: Abstract Background Coronary heart disease due to arteriosclerosis is the leading cause of death in type 1 diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation (SPKT) compared to kidney transplantation alone (KTA) on survival, cardiovascular function and metabolic outcomes. Methods A cohort of 127 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients with ESRD who underwent either SPKT (n = 100) or KTA (n = 27) between 1998 and 2019 at the University Hospital of Leipzig were retrospectively evaluated with regard to cardiovascular and metabolic function/outcomes as well as survival rates. An additional focus was placed on the echocardiographic assessment of systolic and diastolic cardiac function pretransplant and during follow-up. To avoid selection bias, a 2:1 propensity score matching analysis (PSM) was performed. Results After PSM, a total of 63 patients were identified; 42 patients underwent SPKT, and 21 patients received KTA. Compared with the KTA group, SPKT recipients received organs from younger donors (p
