On #WorldLungDay, SRTR breaks down #lungtransplant numbers: #transplantation #transplant #lung #LungHealth #RespiratoryInfections .American Lung Association

A study from Cleveland Clinic and SRTR finds a new method of donor-lung distribution is expected to decrease deaths among those waiting for a lung transplant. cle.clinic/3ikvxin

Socioeconomic position and region differences did not explain most of the differences in post-lung transplant survival by race and ethnicity, highlighting the complex social reality in racial disparities in post-transplant outcomes. ja.ma/3MXxGgS

Important work by Carli Lehr that, as the accompanying editorial by Drs. Ayodeji Adegunsoye and Milda Saunders at UChicago Medicine discuss so eloquently, asks more questions than it answers. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

" ... racial differences in post-transplant outcomes still exist and must be studied further to achieve improved #equity in the U.S. #transplant system," @CarliLehrMDPhD, at Cleveland Clinic, told Healio. bit.ly/46VrEor

If you haven't already transported yourself away from X, here's my latest paper on transportability: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bi… Featuring: adaptive treatment strategies, kidney-pancreas transplant, David Vock, SRTR, and more!

Cleveland Clinic researchers develop a new model for prioritizing patients waiting for a lung transplant. The goal is to improve outcomes and reduce deaths among those in need of donor lungs. cle.clinic/3PSVEuC

Higher utilization of ECMO bridge to transplant and increased waitlist mortality found using newly collected OPTN/UNOS data. Continued efforts are needed to ensure timely access to transplant for this population. @CarliLehrMD Maryam Valapour 🔗: jhltonline.org/article/S1053-…

Is there a better way to capture waitlist mortality risk for #LungTx patients? Using clinically-interpretable dimensions leads to improved phenotyping and better understanding of mortality risk. @CarliLehrMDPhD Maryam Valapour Jarrod Dalton 🔗jhltonline.org/article/S1053-…

The cost of end-of-life hospitalizations for lung disease varies widely, averaging $29,981 per patient; this raises the question of whether lung transplantation could avert acute care costs for some patients. @CarliLehrMDPhD Jarrod Dalton Maryam Valapour brnw.ch/21wH5mS
