Key Statistics

The survival rate after lung transplantation worldwide is reported to be 92%, 79% and 63% for the first month, first year and third year respectively. Early mortality (<90 days) is most often due to infection and late mortality (>90 days) is most often related to rejection. Survival rates are higher for patients undergoing lung transplantation for COPD compared to those whose indications were IPF or pulmonary hypertension.
