ISHLT Consensus Statement on the Perioperative use of ECLS in Lung Transplantation: Part I: Preoperative Considerations Open
The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) throughout the perioperative phase of lung transplantation requires nuanced planning and execution by an integrated team of multidisciplinary experts. To date, no multidisciplinary consensus do…

Lung Transplantation Advanced Prediction Tool: Determining Recipient’s Outcome for a Certain Donor Open
Background. Many risk-prediction models for lung transplantation are centered on recipient characteristics and do not account for impact of donor and transplant-related factors or only examine short-term outcomes (eg, predicted 1-y surviva…

Auto‐inflammation and auto‐immunity pathways are associated with emergence of BOS in pediatric lung transplantation Open
Background Long‐term survival after lung transplantation (LTx) is limited by chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Methods We report an analysis of cytokine profiles in bronchoalveolar lavage samples collected during a prospective mul…

Epidemiology and persistence of rhinovirus in pediatric lung transplantation Open
Background Infection with rhinovirus (HRV) occurs following pediatric lung transplantation. Prospective studies documenting frequencies, persistence, and progression of HRV in this at‐risk population are lacking. Methods In the Clinical Tr…

Anellovirus loads are associated with outcomes in pediatric lung transplantation Open
Anelloviruses are DNA viruses ubiquitously present in human blood. Due to their elevated levels in immunosuppressed patients, anellovirus levels have been proposed as a marker of immune status. We hypothesized that low anellovirus levels, …

Risk and outcomes of pulmonary fungal infection after pediatric lung transplantation Open
Background Prospective studies to determine associated risk factors and related outcomes for pulmonary fungal infection ( PFI ) after pediatric lung transplant ( PLT ) are lacking. Methods NIH ‐sponsored Clinical Trials in Organ Transplant…

Epstein‐Barr viral loads do not predict post‐transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in pediatric lung transplant recipients: A multicenter prospective cohort study Open
Prediction of PTLD after pediatric lung transplant remains difficult. Use of EBV VL in WB has been poorly predictive, while measurement of VL in BAL fluid has been suggested to have enhanced utility. The NIH ‐sponsored Clinical Trials in O…
