Evolution and Risk Factors for Early Mortality After Lung Transplantation for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: An Experience of 20 Years

Abstract High early mortality after lung transplantation (LT) for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is still not well controlled, and some aspects remain debated. The aim of this study was to evaluate our experience to identify factors that might improve the early outcomes. Among the 427 patients...

Description
Summary:Abstract High early mortality after lung transplantation (LT) for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is still not well controlled, and some aspects remain debated. The aim of this study was to evaluate our experience to identify factors that might improve the early outcomes. Among the 427 patients transplanted from October 1993 to December 2014, 117 IPF patients underwent LT at our department. There was an increasing age of transplant recipients, and the overall early (1-mo_ mortality was 25/117 (21.4%) with a progressive decrease over the years. Logistic regression analysis for early mortality was performed, and multivariate analysis identified recipient age
