Early outcomes of lung transplantation under the composite allocation score system
Lung transplant candidates in Era 2 had lower waitlist mortality and higher transplant rates compared with Era 1, with similar 9-month post-transplant survival. These findings suggest that the Composite Allocation Score policy has contributed to allocation improvement without compromising early post-transplant outcomes.
