Sequence of refusals for donor quality, organ utlization and survival after lung transplantation

Lung donor utilization rates remain low with many organs refused for donor quality. However, certain centers have successfully transplanted these organs despite multiple refusals for donor quality (RDQ) by other centers. We hypothesize that the number of refusals due to donor quality does not impact post-transplant outcomes.
