Outcomes of lung transplantation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that prelisting demographic and clinical data of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients had no significant effect on post-operative outcomes, however, intra-operative ECMO use, prolonged extubation, primary graft dysfunction (p< 0.05 for each) and chronic rejection (p> 0.05) were more common in patients who are <60 years of age. These data need to be confirmed by larger studies.PMID:37740625 | DOI:10.5578/tt.20239703
