Abstract
Resting energy expenditure and nutritional status in pediatric patients was determined before and then 1 and 2 years after lung transplantation. Mean resting energy expenditure was increased (132%) before transplantation and declined (112%) after transplantation. Body mass index and weight z-scores improved posttransplantation, but nutritional measurements remained below normal population values.Entities:
