A Matched Survival Analysis of Lung Transplant Recipients with Covid-19 Related Respiratory Failure
Lung transplant is a potentially life-saving option for patients with Covid-19-induced acute respiratory distress and pulmonary fibrosis. This study set out to determine whether Covid-19 lung transplant patients had comparable outcomes to other lung transplant recipients with similar lung function. The results from this study, pulled from a database of 37,333 lung transplant patients of all causes and 334 from Covid-related causes, showed minimal difference in six-month survival rates.
