摘要: Rationale: Bilateral lung transplantation (BLT) improves survival compared with single (SLT) for some individuals chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it is unclear which strategy optimally uses this scarce societal resource.Objectives: To compare the effect of SLT versus BLT strategies COPD on waitlist outcomes among broader population patients listed transplantation.Methods: We developed a Markov model to simulate transplant using registry data define size, donor frequency, risk death awaiting transplant, and disease- procedure-specific post-transplant survival. then applied 1,000 simulated number under each who received died before transplantation, total survival.Measurements Main Results: Under baseline assumptions, resulted in more transplanted (809 v...
