Evaluation of nutritional status in lung transplant recipients and its correlation with post-transplant short-term prognosis: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung transplantation is an effective treatment for saving the lives of patients with end-stage lung disease (ESLD). Lung transplant-related morbidity and mortality has significantly higher than other solid organ transplants. Among the pre-transplant variables that affect the survival rate after transplantation, nutritional status are associated with poor survival rate. In order to provide basis for formulating nutritional evaluations for lung transplant recipients in the future, we retrospectively analyzed the nutritional status of lung transplantation recipients and explore its correlation with the short-term prognosis.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included patients who were hospitalized in 2020 and underwent lung transplant surgery at Shanghai Pulmona
