Presentation and outcomes of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder at a single institution pediatric transplant center.

Background: This study aimed to characterize features present at the time of diagnosis and describe outcomes in patients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) following pediatric solid organ transplantation.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of solid organ transplant patients who developed pathologically confirmed PTLD at our center from 2006 to 2016.

Results: Of 594 patients included in this study, 41(6.

Pretransplant six-minute walk test predicts peri- and post-operative outcomes after pediatric lung transplantation.

Unlabelled: The purpose of the pretransplant assessment in lung transplantation is to determine a patient's need for transplant as well as their potential survival post-procedure. In 2005, the UNOS introduced the LAS, a calculation based on multiple physiologic measures to determine need and likelihood for survival. Measures include NYHA class and the 6-MWT.
