Lung transplantation. Recipient selection.

Since international recommendations for lung transplant recipients were made in 1998, newer tools for predicting mortality in patients who have end-stage lung disease have been investigated. This article reviews studies for predicting mortality in obstructive, restrictive, pulmonary vascular, and suppurative/bronchiectatic lung disease. Newer considerations for alternative treatments, postoperative risks, and contraindications are also examined. The article aims to provide more accurate data for selecting patients who will benefit from lung transplantation.
