OBJECTIVES: Peri- and postoperative complications diminish the outcome of lung transplantation (LTx) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). We hypothesized that the degree of pathological findings on pre-LTx high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is associated with higher morbidity and mortality in CF.
METHODS: All our CF patients undergoing LTx between 2001 and 2011 were included. HRCT examinations were evaluated according to a scoring system for pulmonary disease in CF patients, the Severe Advanced Lung Disease (SALD) score and for pleural involvement.
RESULTS: Fifty-three patients were included. Dominant infectious/inflammatory disease according to the SALD score was observed in 10 patients (19%). Five (50%) of those patients died within one week after LTx, compared to 2 (5%) patients without dominant infectious/inflammatory disease (p<0.001). This difference in survival percentage remained also significant in multivariate analysis. Patients with infectious/inflammatory disease received more packed red blood cells; 26 versus 8 in the first week (p<0.001). Pleural thickening was associated with higher requirement (10 units) for blood transfusion during LTx, compared to patients with normal pleura (4 units).
CONCLUSIONS: The analysis of HRCT in CF patients according to the SALD score showed that dominant infectious/inflammatory disease is associated with a higher mortality after LTx. If confirmed in other studies, HRCT might aid estimation of surgical risk in some adult CF patients.
