Donor risk prediction

摘要: PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article reviews recent developments in the selection of lung donor that aim to increase organ use. The scarcity suitable organs continues limit transplantation resulting long waiting times and significant mortality for those patients awaiting transplantation. RECENT FINDINGS Strategies expand pool can substantially lift utilization rates from historically low levels less than 15% greater 50% without inordinate risk short-term or long-term complications. Numerical recipient scores may have a role play measuring, comparing contrasting transplant outcomes future studies variables. SUMMARY After considering evolution management practices, 2013 available evidence suggests traditional factors defining as 'extended', do not actually compromise within framework current strategies. Extended lungs are safe.
