Article Synopsis
- Lung transplantation is essential for patients with end-stage lung disease, but the demand for organs exceeds the supply, leaving many patients at risk during long waiting periods.
- This study analyzed data from 169 patients at National Taiwan University Hospital over 13 years to identify mortality rates and risk factors while on the waiting list.
- Key findings revealed that lower body mass index (BMI), advanced NYHA class (IV), and specific diseases like infections and pulmonary fibrosis significantly impacted patient survival rates.
