Prognostic implications of and clinical risk factors for acute lung injury and organizing pneumonia after lung transplantation: Data from a multicenter prospective cohort study.

Journal Article (Multicenter Study;Journal Article)

We determined prognostic implications of acute lung injury (ALI) and organizing pneumonia (OP), including timing relative to transplantation, in a multicenter lung recipient cohort. We sought to understand clinical risks that contribute to development of ALI/OP. We analyzed prospective, histologic diagnoses of ALI and OP in 4786 lung biopsies from 803 adult lung recipients. Univariable Cox regression was used to evaluate the impact of early (≤90 days) or late (>90 days) posttransplant ALI or OP on risk for chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) or death/retransplantation. These analyses demonstrated late ALI/OP conferred a two- to threefold increase in the hazards of CLAD or death/retransplantation; there was no association between early ALI/OP and these outcomes. To determine risk factors for late ALI/OP, we used univariable Cox models considering donor/recipient characteristics and posttransplant events as candidate risks. Grade 3 primary graft dysfunction, higher degree of donor/recipient human leukocyte antigen mismatch, bacterial or viral respiratory infection, and an early ALI/OP event were significantly associated with increased late ALI/OP risk. These data from a contemporary, multicenter cohort underscore the prognostic implications of ALI/OP on lung recipient outcomes, clarify the importance of the timing of these events, and identify clinical risks to target for ALI/OP prevention.
