Truth in Pathology: Autopsy Findings in Lungs Declined for Transplantation.
Healthy lungs are scarce among available organ donors who are becoming progressively older and have increasing numbers of comorbidities. Selection criteria that include excellent oxygenation…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Insurance Status on Waiting List and Post-Lung Transplant Survival in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis.
1Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH; 2Scientific Reg of Transplant Recipients, Minneapolis, MN
Studies show that insurance status at the time of wait-listing affects waitlist and posttransplant survival after lung transplant. No studies have analyzed the effect of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Waitlist and Post-Lung Transplant Mortality Vary by Diagnosis for a Given Lung Allocation Score.
The lung allocation score (LAS) is used to prioritize candidates based on predicted one-year waitlist mortality and post-transplant survival. Lung diagnosis is factored into LAS,…2017 American Transplant Congress
Age and Gender Disparities in Post-Lung Transplant Mortality.
Gender, race, and age have been associated with health disparities, including in post-transplant outcomes. Given disparities in post-lung transplant outcomes are not well-understood, we assess…2017 American Transplant Congress
Is Lung Allocation Score Associated with Waitlist and Post-Transplant Survival?
The lung allocation score (LAS) prioritizes patients based on predicted one-year waitlist and post-transplant mortality. However, for a given diagnosis, it is unclear whether LAS…2016 American Transplant Congress
Multiplex Profiling of Plasma Proteins After Xenogenic Lung Exposure.
Background: Porcine lungs exhibit injury by human blood and are only partially protected in GalTKO organs with additional human membrane cofactor protein (hCD46). Residual injury…2016 American Transplant Congress
Positive Impact of a Pilot Pharmacist-Run Diabetes Pharmacotherapy Clinic in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients.
Background: Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) can lead to significant morbidity and cardiovascular death with a functioning graft. A paucity of literature exists regarding glycemic control…2016 American Transplant Congress
Metallothionein Accelerates Anti-MHC Induced Small Airway Obliteration and Fibrosis by Negatively Regulating IL-10 and Regulatory Cells.
Development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), chronic lung allograft rejection, is a major obstacle to long-term success from lung transplantation. De novo antibodies (Abs) to…2016 American Transplant Congress
Microarray Analysis of Transbronchial and Mucosal Biopsies in Lung Transplant Recipients Detects Molecular Changes of T-Cell Mediated Inflammation.
Purpose: The main diagnostic platform for rejection in lung transplant recipients is histology of transbronchial biopsies (TBB), a test with a poor performance and safety…2015 American Transplant Congress
Results of Broader Sharing of Young Pediatric Donor Lungs and Priority Allocation System for Young Pediatric Lung Candidates
Background. Two major changes for allocation of young pediatric (ped) lung (LU) donors and young ped candidates were implemented on 9/12/10. LUs from 0-11 year…
