Predictors of long-term employment among patients with cystic fibrosis undergoing lung transplantation.

CONCLUSION: Pre-transplant employment is the dominant factor influencing lung transplantation employment in people with cystic fibrosis. People with cystic fibrosis undergoing lung transplantation should be encouraged to work for as long as their health status permits. Professional reintegration after successful lung transplantation should be supported by a multi-disciplinary lung transplant team. PMID: 32667678 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
