BACKGROUND: The Lung Allocation Score (LAS) system was designed to equalize and minimize waitlist mortality among candidiates for lung transplantation. The LAS stratifies sarcoidosis patients by mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) into group A (mPAP ≤30 mm Hg) and group D (mPAP >30 mm Hg). In this study, we aimed to analyze the effect of diagnostic grouping and patient characteristics on waitlist mortality among sarcoidosis patients.
METHODS: This was a retrospective review of sarcoidosis lung transplantation candidates since LAS implementation in May 2005 through May 2019 in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients database. We compared baseline characteristics, LAS variables, and waitlist outcomes between sarcoidosis groups A and D. We performed Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariable regression to determine associations with waitlist mortality.
RESULTS: We identified 1027 sarcoidosis candidates since LAS implementation. Of these, 385 had mPAP ≤30 mm Hg and 642 had mPAP >30 mm Hg. Waitlist mortality was 18% in sarcoidosis group D and 14% in sarcoidosis group A. Kaplan-Meier curve showed lower waitlist survival probability for sarcoidosis group D than group A (log-rank P = .0049). Functional status, oxygen requirement, and sarcoidosis group D were associated with increased waitlist mortality. Cardiac output ≥4 L/min was associated with decreased waitlist mortality.
CONCLUSION: Sarcoidosis group D had lower waitlist survival than group A. Decreased survival appears driven by mPAP; sarcoidosis group D, functional status, oxygen requirement, and cardiac output had significant associations with waitlist mortality. These findings suggest that the current LAS grouping does not adequately reflect the risk for waitlist mortality among sarcoidosis group D patients.
