Elevated Pulmonary Artery Pressure Is a Risk Factor for Primary Graft Dysfunction Following Lung Transplantation for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Abstract: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal and chronically progressive diffuse parenchymal lung disease that is characterized by varying degrees of fi brosis of the lung parenchyma. 1 Currently, there are few proven, standardized therapies for IPF 2 ; the only viable treatment that has shown survival benefi t for patients with advanced stages of IPF is lung transplantation. [3][4][5][6][7] Nonetheless, the survival benefi t for lung transplantation in patients with IPF is still complicated by signifi cant … Show more

“…We compared variables using the Mann-Whitney or Chi-square test. Potential risk factors for grade 3 PGD previously identified in the literature and shown by univariate analysis in our study or with hypothetical clinical or biologic plausibility were selected for analysis (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). A logistic regression model was used to identify the independent variables associated with grade 3 PGD.…”

“…LTOG is an NHLBI-funded prospective cohort study of lung transplant recipients with the primary aim of examining clinical and genetic risk factors for PGD at nine United States centers (a full list of investigators and participating centers appears before the REFERENCES section) (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). Based on a reported association between obesity and early mortality after lung transplantation for COPD and ILD (21), we restricted our study sample to 512 adult LTOG participants with COPD or ILD who underwent single or bilateral lung transplantation between March 2002 and July 2009 and who had complete exposure and outcome data.…”

“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Subjects were enrolled from 10 US transplant centers from March 2002 through December 2010. Patients undergoing lung or combined heart-lung transplantation at a participating center were eligible for inclusion in the Lung Transplant Outcomes Group study if their age at the time of transplantation was between 18 and 80 years and they provided informed consent.…”
