The lung donor score accurately reflects the likelihood of organ acceptance and predicts patient mortality, and its application at time of donor reporting may facilitate donor risk assessment and patient selection.

A decade of extended‐criteria lung donors in a single center: was it justified?

Although this lung donor strategy has an impact on early postoperative outcome, liberalizing criteria did not influence long‐term outcome after LTx, and accepting ECDs contributed in increasing the number of lung transplants performed in this center.

Comparison of donor scores in bilateral lung transplantation—A large single‐center analysis

To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the largest validation analysis comparing currently available donor scores and the Oto score was superior in predicting organ utilization, and MALT score and UMN‐DLQI for predicting outcome after lung transplantation.

Extended-criteria donors in lung transplantation in Switzerland: an evaluation of two adapted lung donor scores.

Both scoring systems are able to predict whether or not donor lungs are accepted by the two lung transplant centres in Switzerland, and both scores can predictWhether or not a donor lung is likely to be accepted for transplantation in Switzerland.

Impact of donor lung quality on post‐transplant recipient outcome in the Lung Allocation Score era in Eurotransplant – a historical prospective study

The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is an impact of donation rates on the quality of lungs used for transplantation and whether donor lung quality affects post‐transplant outcome…

Lungs From Donors ≥70 Years of Age for Transplantation—Do Long-Term Outcomes Justify Their Use?

The overall survival as well as CLAD-free survival showed no differences between both groups in the follow-up period, and utilization of lungs from donors ≥70 years of age leads to excellent mid- and long-term results that are similar to organs from younger donors when the organs from older donors are carefully preselected.

Low-risk donor lungs optimize the post-lung transplant outcome for high lung allocation score patients

Lung transplantation can be feasible and provides a survival benefit even for high-LAS patients if lungs from a low-risk donor are transplanted, and the LAS was not reliable if high-quality lungs were transplanted.

A new lung donor score to predict short and long-term survival in lung transplantation

The proposed Zurich Donor Score is simple, well adapted for the current urge of extended donors use, and shows higher discriminative ability compared to preexisting donor scores regarding short- to long-term survival.

A retrospective review of 128 consecutive lung or heart-lung transplants from January 1, 1997, to June 30, 2000 found that caution needs to be exercised in the uses of certain extended donor lungs because there seems to be an increased early mortality rate in that group of recipients.
