Abstract
Pediatric lung transplantation for cystic fibrosis has uncertain survival effects. Three retrospective studies disagree on survival benefit. The US Lung Allocation Score has changed patient selection for lung transplantation but confounds the analysis of survival outcomes. A prospective trial is needed to resolve clinical equipoise and explore quality-of-life effects.Entities:
