ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Lung transplantation is the only curative treatment for patients with end-stage pulmonary fibrosis. It is still under debate whether over- or undersizing of lung allografts is preferably performed regarding the postoperative outcome. We therefore analyzed our data using predicted total lung capacity to compare size mismatches.METHODS:
Patient records were retrospectively reviewed. Three groups were formed, 1 including patients with a donor-recipients pTLC ratio (DRPR) of <1.0 (undersized group), the second with a DRPR of ≥1.0 and <1.1 (size-matched group), and the third group with a DRPR of ≥1.1 (oversized group). Outcomes were evaluated using chi-square test and Kruskall-Wallis test as well as Kaplan-Meier analysis, competing risk analysis, and multivariable analysis, respectively.RESULTS:
Between January 2010 and May 2023, among the 1501 patients transplanted at our institution, 422 (28%) patients were included, 26 (2%) patients forming the oversized group (median DRPR 1.14), 101 (7%) patients forming the size-matched group (median DRPR 1.03), and 296 (20%) patients forming the undersized group (median DRPR 0.92). Patients from the oversized group had a higher PGD grade 3 rate at 24 (p < 0.001), 48 (p < 0.001), and 72 (p = 0.039) hours after transplantation as well as a higher in-hospital mortality compared to the undersized group (p = 0.033). The long-term survival was also better in the undersized group compared to the oversized group (p = 0.011) and to the size-matched group (p = 0.01).CONCLUSIONS:
Oversizing lung allografts more than 10% deteriorated early postoperative outcomes and long-term survival in patients with pulmonary fibrosis.Palavras-chave
