Background. Several simple measures of graft function after islet transplantation have been proposed but a comparative evaluation is lacking. Here, we compared the performance of five indices of beta-cell function: beta-score, transplant estimated function (TEF), homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) 2-B%, C-peptide/glucose ratio, and Secretory Units of Islets in Transplantation (SUIT).status: publishe
