Conclusion: ILD was the most common cause of ESLD in patients referred for lung transplantation. The waitlist mortality was highest for patients with bronchiolitis and IPF. Despite having ESLD, very few patients were willing for lung transplantation. Patients willing for lung transplantation died earlier than those who were unwilling.
