Improvements in Patient-reported Functioning After Lung Transplant Is Associated With Improved Quality of Life and Survival
Improvements in patient-reported physical functioning after lung transplantation are associated with improved HRQL and a reduced risk of CLAD and death, independent of allograft function. The simplicity of LT-VLA suggests that it could be a valuable monitoring or outcome measure in both clinical and research settings.
