BACKGROUND Lung transplant (LTx) recipients have low long-term survival and a high
incidence of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). However, few long-term, multicenter,
and precise estimates of BOS-free survival (a composite outcome of death or BOS)
incidence exist. METHODS This retrospective cohort study of primary LTx recipients (1994–
2011) reported to the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation Thoracic
Transplant Registry assessed outcomes through 2012. For the composite primary outcome …
