Long-Term Survival Following Primary Graft Dysfunction Development in Lung Transplantation

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a known risk factor for early mortality following lung transplant (LT). However, the outcomes of patients who achieve long-term survival following index hospitalization are unknown. We aimed to determine the long-term association of PGD grade 3 (PGD3) in patients without in-hospital mortality.
