CONCLUSIONS: The proposed lung donor scoring system is a simple, easy to use method that can aid transplant surgeons in the selection of a potential lung transplant donor. Utilizing the lung donor score in conjunction with the LAS can allow for matching of recipients and donors, in order to optimize post-transplant outcomes.
