UNASSIGNED: In this retrospective study, we extracted data from the medical records of 127 patients who underwent lung transplantation between 1/1/2016-12/31/2018. PGD was defined as PGD3 present at 48 and/or 72 hours post-reperfusion. We used the 2005 and the updated 2016 guidelines to assess clinical risk factors, outcomes, and baseline biomarkers for PGD.
UNASSIGNED: On the basis of the 2016 and 2005 guidelines, we identified PGD in 37% and 26% of patients, respectively. PGD was significantly associated with extracorporeal life support, large body mass index, and restrictive lung disease using the 2016 but not the 2005 guidelines. Based on the 2016 guidelines, pretransplant levels of several biomarkers were associated with PGD; using the 2005 guidelines, only increased interleukin-2 levels were significantly associated with PGD. No preoperative biomarkers were associated with PGD using either guidelines after adjusting for clinical variables. Postoperative morbidity and 1-year mortality were similar regardless of guidelines used.
UNASSIGNED: Our findings suggest that refinements in the PGD scoring system have improved the detection of graft injury and associated risk factors without changing its ability to predict postoperative morbidity and mortality.
■在这项回顾性研究中,我们从2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日接受肺移植的127例患者的病历中提取数据.PGD定义为在再灌注后48和/或72小时存在的PGD3。我们使用2005年和2016年更新的指南来评估临床风险因素,结果,和PGD的基线生物标志物。
■根据2016年和2005年指南,我们在37%和26%的患者中发现了PGD,分别。PGD与体外生命支持显着相关,大体重指数,和限制性肺病使用2016年而不是2005年的指南。根据2016年的指导方针,移植前几种生物标志物的水平与PGD相关;使用2005年指南,只有白细胞介素-2水平升高与PGD显著相关.在调整临床变量后,使用任一指南均未发现术前生物标志物与PGD相关。无论使用何种指南,术后发病率和1年死亡率相似。
■我们的发现表明,PGD评分系统的改进改善了对移植物损伤和相关危险因素的检测,而不改变其预测术后发病率和死亡率的能力。
