Time since primary transplant and poor functional status predict survival after redo lung transplant.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In previous studies, lower functional status measured by Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) correlated with worse survival after redo lung transplant. We hypothesize that combining reduced functional status and time from primary lung transplant will correlate with the etiology of lung allograft failure after primary lung transplant and more accurately predict survival after redo lung transplant.

Methods

This retrospective study was approved by University of Minnesota Institutional Review Board. From the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) database, 739 patients underwent redo lung transplant (01/01/2005-8/30/2019). Pre-lung transplant characteristics, KPS, time between primary and redo lung transplant, outcomes, overall survival were evaluated. Pai
