Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates skeletal outcomes in long-term lung transplant survivors, comparing those with cystic fibrosis (CF) and other lung diseases (nCF), focusing on fragility fractures (FX) and bone health after two years post-transplant.
  • - Results show that after the initial two years post-transplant, the rate of fractures decreased significantly to 4.4%, with no substantial difference found between CF and nCF patients.
  • - Bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) remained stable across both groups, indicating that skeletal complications become less common and are similar in frequency for both types of patients after the second year.
