Factors associated with short- versus long-term survival after lung transplant.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

A small but growing proportion of lung transplant recipients survive longer than a decade post-transplant. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with survival beyond a decade after lung transplant.

Methods

We queried the United Network for Organ Sharing registry for adult (age ≥18 years) recipients undergoing first-time isolated lung transplantation between the introduction of the Lung Allocation Score in 2005 and 2009. Recipients were stratified into 3 cohorts: those who survived less than 1 year, 1 to 10 years, and greater than 10 years. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with early mortality (<1 year) and long-term (>10 years) survival.

Results

A total of 5171 lung transplant recipien
