Participant Flow

From January 2009 to July 2013, the study team recruited and enrolled 129 subjects referred to the Congenital Hyperinsulinism Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia who were potential candidates for partial pancreatectomy surgery if focal lesions were suspected and were able to be localized.

1 subject was enrolled into the study (informed consent signed), however, was deemed ineligible due to subsequent additional clinical information provided after consent but prior to scheduled PET study. . A second subject had two scans, but is only counted once in the final analysis. This accounts for the enrollment discrepancy (130 vs.128 described in the protocol section)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Surgery typically occured within a week post PET

Population: A single F-DOPA PET/CT imaging study was performed and reported prior to surgery. This data includes surgical histopathology confirmed as focal or diffuse. 19 of the 119 participants with surgical results had atypical histopathology that did not fit the definition of either category and therefore are excluded from this analysis.

To determine the sensitivity and specificity of 18F-DOPA PET/CT for the detection of a focal pancreatic lesion in infants and children with poorly controlled hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: evaluated with 72 hours or prior to pancreatic surgery (if any)

Population: all participants who had both PET and surgery

To further evaluate the safety of 18-labeled L-fluorodeoxyphenylalanine (18F-DOPA) PET/CT imaging in infants and children with congenital hyperinsulinism \- subjects are monitored clinically for any signs or symptoms of adverse events for 72 hours post PET. Adverse events are documented and followed to resolution
