Application of a specialist nurse-led multidisciplinary team model in the perioperative care of patients undergoing simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation: randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPKT) is an effective treatment option for individuals who suffer from both diabetes mellitus and renal failure. However, experiments exploring nurse-led multidisciplinary team management during the perioperative management of patients undergoing SPKT are currently limited. This study aims to explore the clinical performance of a transplant nurse-led multidisciplinary team (MDT) in the perioperative management of SPKT patients.

Methods

A total of 218 patients who underwent SPKT were randomly assigned to either a control group (n=116) receiving conventional care or an intervention group (n=102) managed through a transplant nurse-led MDT approach. The incidence of postoperative complications, hospital stay, total hos
