Voluntary contribution has been the sole source of donor lungs in China since 2015. A retrospective study of 205 patients awaiting lung transplantation (LTx) revealed that interstitial lung disease (ILD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were the most common diseases. ILD patients had a higher mortality rate than COPD patients while awaiting LTx. Shorter waiting time and higher mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) were independent risk factors for waitlist mortality. LTx is more urgently needed in patients with ILD and pulmonary hypertension.
Voluntary contribution has become the only source of donor lungs in China since 2015. To elaborate the outcomes of patients awaiting lung transplantation (LTx) after the implementation of donation after brain death, we performed a retrospective study that encompassed 205 patients with end-stage lung disease who registered for LTx at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital from January 1, 2015 to January 1, 2021. A total of 180 patients were enrolled in the study. The median waiting time was 1.25 months. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) (103/180, 57.2%) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (56/180, 31.1%) were the most common diseases in our study population. The mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) of patients in the died-waiting group was higher than that of the survivors (53.29 +/- 21.71 mmHg vs. 42.11 +/- 18.58 mmHg, P=0.002). The mortality of patients with ILD (34/103, 33.00%) was nearly twice that of patients with COPD (10/56, 17.86%) while awaiting LTx (P=0.041). In the died-waiting group, patients with ILD had a shorter median waiting time than patients with COPD after being listed (0.865 months vs. 4.720 months, P=0.030). ILD as primary disease and mPAP > 35 mmHg were two significant independent risk factors for waitlist mortality, with hazard ratios (HR) of 3.483 (95% CI 1.311-9.111; P=0.011) and 3.500 (95% CI 1.435-8.536; P=0.006). Hence, LTx is more urgently needed in patients with ILD and pulmonary hypertension.
