The cost of end-of-life hospitalizations for lung disease varies widely, averaging $29,981 per patient; this raises the question of whether lung transplantation could avert acute care costs for some patients. @CarliLehrMDPhD @DaltonJarrod @MValapour brnw.ch/21wH5mS

Is there a better way to capture waitlist mortality risk for #LungTx patients? Using clinically-interpretable dimensions leads to improved phenotyping and better understanding of mortality risk. @CarliLehrMDPhD @MValapour @DaltonJarrod 🔗jhltonline.org/article/S1053-…

Higher utilization of ECMO bridge to transplant and increased waitlist mortality found using newly collected OPTN/UNOS data. Continued efforts are needed to ensure timely access to transplant for this population. @CarliLehrMD @MValapour 🔗: jhltonline.org/article/S1053-…

Cleveland Clinic researchers develop a new model for prioritizing patients waiting for a lung transplant. The goal is to improve outcomes and reduce deaths among those in need of donor lungs. cle.clinic/3PSVEuC

" ... racial differences in post-transplant outcomes still exist and must be studied further to achieve improved #equity in the U.S. #transplant system," @CarliLehrMDPhD, at @ClevelandClinic, told Healio. bit.ly/46VrEor

Great Invited Expert Opinion in #JTCVS comparing longevity of patients with cystic fibrosis in the US vs Canada. By Dr Joel Cooper et al: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcv… @AATSHQ @tssmn @MValapour @MarceloCypel Plus a Commentary by Harris, @mghartwigmd et al: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcv…

Socioeconomic position and region differences did not explain most of the differences in post-lung transplant survival by race and ethnicity, highlighting the complex social reality in racial disparities in post-transplant outcomes. ja.ma/3MXxGgS

Important work by @CarliLehrMDPhD that, as the accompanying editorial by Drs. Ayodeji Adegunsoye and Milda Saunders at @UChicagoMed discuss so eloquently, asks more questions than it answers. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

A study from @ClevelandClinic and @SRTRNews finds a new method of donor-lung distribution is expected to decrease deaths among those waiting for a lung transplant. cle.clinic/3ikvxin
