The cost of end-of-life hospitalizations for lung disease varies widely, averaging $29,981 per patient; this raises the question of whether lung transplantation could avert acute care costs for some patients. @CarliLehrMDPhD @DaltonJarrod @MValapour

Is there a better way to capture waitlist mortality risk for #LungTx patients? Using clinically-interpretable dimensions leads to improved phenotyping and better understanding of mortality risk. @CarliLehrMDPhD @MValapour @DaltonJarrod

Higher utilization of ECMO bridge to transplant and increased waitlist mortality found using newly collected OPTN/UNOS data. Continued efforts are needed to ensure timely access to transplant for this population. @CarliLehrMD @MValapour

Cleveland Clinic researchers develop a new model for prioritizing patients waiting for a lung transplant.
The goal is to improve outcomes and reduce deaths among those in need of donor lungs.

Socioeconomic position and region differences did not explain most of the differences in post-lung transplant survival by race and ethnicity, highlighting the complex social reality in racial disparities in post-transplant outcomes. https://t.co/ycBYVuKFdV

[Jarrod Dalton @DaltonJarrod]

Important work by @CarliLehrMDPhD that, as the accompanying editorial by Drs. Ayodeji Adegunsoye and Milda Saunders at @UChicagoMed discuss so eloquently, asks more questions than it answers.
