Donor to recipient sizing in thoracic organ transplantation

Figure 1 Lung size mismatch (the donor to recipient predicted total lung capacity ratio) is associated with the probability of primary graft dysfunction grade 3. The relationship of pTLCratio (pTLCdonor/pTLCrecipeint) and predicted probability of any grade PGD grade 3 within 72 h is shown using a fractional polynomial fit with 95%CIs (gray area).
