Recipient, donor, and surgical factors leading to primary graft dysfunction after lung transplant.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary graft dysfunction is a major cause of early mortality following lung transplantation. The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation subdivides it into 4 grades of increasing severity.

Methods

A retrospective review of the institutional lung transplant database from March 2018 to September 2021 was performed. Patients were stratified into three groups: primary graft dysfunction grade 0 patients, grade 1 or 2 patients, and grade 3 patients. Recipient, donor, and surgical variables were analyzed by logistic regression analysis to identify risk factors for primary graft dysfunction grade 1 or 2 and grade 3.

Results

Primary graft dysfunction grade 1 to 3 occurred in 45.0% of the cohort (n=68) of whom 33.3% (n=23) had primary graft dysfunct
