Frailty and Clinical Benefits with Lung Transplantation

The Fried frailty phenotype is associated with morbidity and mortality in lung transplant (LTx) candidates, but its clinical application and association with post-transplant outcomes are not well defined. We aimed to assess two alternate frailty indices in LTx candidates and evaluate associations of frailty with early post-transplant outcomes and one-year mortality.
