Donor demographics for islet isolations after HMP group (n = 5) and after SCS group (n = 5). Variables are described as median and interquartile range.
BMI, body mass index; CIT, cold ischemia time (start of aortic preservation solution flush until start enzymatic perfusion); DBD, donation after brain death; DCD, donation after circulatory death; fWIT, functional warm ischemia time (O2 saturation <80% or MAP <50 mmHg until cardiac arrest, minutes); HMP, hypothermic machine perfusion; iCVA, ischemic cerebrovascular accident; SAB, subarachnoid bleeding; SCS, static cold storage.
