Lung transplantation for connective tissue disease–related interstitial lung disease: Clinical outcomes compared to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Lung transplant recipients with CTD-ILD and IPF had similar rates of allograft failure, all-cause mortality, in-hospital complications, and acute rejection. However, these outcomes varied by CTD diagnosis such that patients with myositis-ILD had increased rates of several in-hospital complications and all-cause mortality. These novel findings provide direction for the ongoing efforts to understand and reduce the risks of lung transplantation for patients with CTD-ILD.
