Prediction, incidence, and outcomes of massive transfusion during lung transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Massive transfusion (MT) during lung transplantation (LT) may significantly impact the risk of perioperative complications and mortality. Currently, there are few studies examining the risk factors and prognosis associated with MT in LT. This study aims to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of MT during LT procedures.

Methods

This retrospective study analyzed adult patients who underwent LT at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from February 2020 to March 2022. MT was defined as the administration of ≥10 units of red blood cells (RBCs) during LT. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the impact of preoperative risk factors on MT. The predictive accuracy of risk f
