This 36th adult lung and heart-lung transplant report summarizes data from 69,200 adult lung
and 4,128 adult heart-lung transplants performed through June 30, 2018 and reported
to the International Thoracic Organ Transplant Registry. With each year's report,
we now provide more detailed analyses on a particular focus theme important to patient
outcomes. Since 2013, these have been donor and recipient age; retransplantation;
early graft failure; indication for transplant; allograft ischemic time; and multiorgan
transplantation. Although widely accepted as critical to decision making at the time
of receipt of an organ donor offer, there is surprisingly little literature outlining
current practice and the impact of size (mis-)matching on outcomes. Hence, this year's
report focuses on an overall theme of donor and recipient size matching. In addition
to reporting donor and recipient height and weight difference for all adult lung and
heart-lung transplant recipients stratified by transplant type (bilateral or single)
and indication, we report historical trends and associations between size match and
survival. The Registry's online slide sets include results from additional analyses
and complementary information not included in this publication (see https://ishltregistries.org/registries/slides.asp).
