In these cases, lung transplantation (LuTx) is a treatment option. Data on indications and outcome after LuTx for chILD is limited. We compared characteristics of LuTx for chILD to the indications cystic fibrosis (CF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH).METHODSchILD-patients <18 years who underwent LuTx at our center between Jan 1st, 2011 and Sep 30th, 2023, were retrospectively analysed and divided into two groups depending on their age at disease manifestation: Children in the chILD A group predominantly became ill during the first two years of life, chILD B patients thereafter. Outcomes were compared to patients with CF and PH.RESULTS101 children were included (chILD A 12; chILD B 19; CF 49; PH 21). Patients in the chILD A group were younger (mean age 1.5 vs., 12.9, 15.2, 10.9 years) and frequently required mechanical ventilation before LuTx (41.7%, vs. 10.5%, 2%, 9.5%, respectively). Their median ICU stay (23 vs. 4, 2, 13 days) and median hospital stay (48 vs. 27, 30, 42 days) after LuTx was longer. Patients with chILD B had the lowest pre-transplant ICU requirement (21.1% vs. 66.7% for chILD A, 30.6% for CF and 47.6% for PH) and short median hospital stay. Five year survival was comparable in all groups (80.2%, 86.5%, 80.4%, and 81.2%).CONCLUSIONLuTx for patients with chILD shows favourable outcome, although younger chILD A patients had a higher pre-transplant morbidity and longer ICU and hospital stay surrounding the transplantation.","PeriodicalId":22654,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143822670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there have been no large-scale, long-term studies evaluating the prevalence, time-course, and association with long-term survival of sympathetic reinnervation of the heart.METHODSCardiac transplant recipients (n=232) were recruited from outpatient clinic at a single transplant centre in the United Kingdom. Participants were each tested once for the presence of sympathetic reinnervation of the sinus node using the low frequency component of power spectral analysis of heart rate variability, with a cut-off defined as 2 standard deviations above the mean for denervated participants (those tested <56 days post-transplant). Time-course was calculated based on the timing of testing post-transplant. Patients were then followed-up over a period of up to 27 years after transplant for survival analysis.RESULTSThe overall prevalence of cardiac sympathetic reinnervation in the 225 patients tested >56 days post-transplant was 64.9%. Sympathetic reinnervation primarily occurred in the first 18 months after transplant, with a plateau thereafter. The prevalence in participants tested >18 months post-transplant was 69.6%. In Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, sympathetic reinnervation was associated with significantly improved survival (Log-rank P=0.019), with a median survival time for reinnervated patients of 19.9 years compared to 14.4 years for the denervated group.CONCLUSIONSSympathetic reinnervation of the sinus node occurs mostly within 18 months of transplant, is found in 70% of cardiac transplant recipients tested >18 months post-transplant, and is associated with significantly improved long-term survival.","PeriodicalId":22654,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142486349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, no multidisciplinary consensus document has examined the perioperative considerations of how to best manage these patients. To address this challenge, this perioperative utilization of ECLS in lung transplantation consensus statement was approved for development by the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation Standards and Guidelines Committee. International experts across multiple disciplines, including cardiothoracic surgery, anesthesiology, critical care, pediatric pulmonology, adult pulmonology, pharmacy, psychology, physical therapy, nursing, and perfusion, were selected based on expertise and divided into subgroups examining the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. Following a comprehensive literature review, each subgroup developed recommendations to examine via a structured Delphi methodology. Following 2 rounds of Delphi consensus, a total of 39 recommendations regarding intraoperative considerations for ECLS in lung transplantation met consensus criteria. These recommendations focus on the planning, implementation, management, and monitoring of ECLS throughout the entire intraoperative period.","PeriodicalId":22654,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142490516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
