ISHLT Registry Data and Country Registries: Comparison of reported European Lung Transplant Activities in 2016

Conclusion: There is an identified gap of approximately 20% between the total number of transplants in the European data submitted to the ISHLT registry and the country specific reported data for 2016. This number underestimates the total number of lung transplant procedures, as there are some European countries where 2016 data was not available for review.
