Background Frail lung transplant candidates are more likely to be delisted or die without
receiving a transplant. Further knowledge of what frailty represents in this population will …

Rationale: Frailty is associated with morbidity and mortality in abdominal organ
transplantation but has not been examined in lung transplantation. Objectives: To examine …

BACKGROUND Frailty is common in adults with advanced lung disease and is associated
with death before and after lung transplantation. We aimed to determine whether frailty …

Background Existing measures of frailty developed in community dwelling older adults may
misclassify frailty in lung transplant candidates. We aimed to develop a novel frailty scale for …

Frailty is associated with increased mortality among lung transplant candidates. We sought
to determine the association between frailty, as measured by the Short Physical …

Background. Frailty is a clinically recognized syndrome of decreased physiological reserve
and a key contributor to suboptimal clinical outcomes in various lung disease groups …

BACKGROUND The Fried frailty phenotype is associated with morbidity and mortality in lung
transplant (LTx) candidates, but its clinical application and association with post-transplant …

Heterogeneous frailty pathobiology might explain the inconsistent associations observed
between frailty and lung transplant outcomes. A Subphenotype analysis could refine frailty …

Background Frailty is a condition of increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes.
Although frailty is an important prognostic factor for many conditions, the effect of frailty on …

Purpose Lung transplant (LT) aims to improve both survival and quality of life (HRQL). To
achieve this, a better understanding of the factors determining HRQL is needed. We tested …
