Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzed outcomes of first lung transplants in children under 12 compared to adolescents (12-17 years) based on patient data from 2005 to 2021.
  • - Children under 12 were more likely to be transplanted for severe conditions like interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension, and they required longer recovery times and support compared to older teens.
  • - Despite these challenges, key outcomes like graft survival and mortality rates were similar between both age groups, indicating that younger children can have comparable results to older adolescents post-transplant.
