Lobar lung transplantation from deceased donors: A systematic review

Figure 4 Donor to recipient size matching based on the donor to recipient predicted total lung capacity ratio, stratified by transplant indication. The predicted total lung capacity (pTLC) ratio that would have occurred using the entire donor lungs was calculated as pTLCratio_Full = pTLCdonor_Full/pTLCrecipient. The pTLC ratio that was actually transplanted via the lobar transplantation was calculated as pTLCratioLobar = pTLCdonor_Lobar/pTLCrecipient, where pTLCdonor_Lobar = [pTLCdonor_Full] × [number donor lung segments transplanted/19]. Each grey circle pair connected with black line represents one donor/recipient pair. The numbers represent the mean pTLCratio ± standard deviation. CF: Cystic fibrosis; IPF: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; IPAH: Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension; OB: Obliterative bronchiolitis; COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; Tx: Lungtransplant; ddLLTx: Deceased donor lobar lung transplant. ^{1, 2}Indicate a significant difference in pTLCratioFull (one-way-anova P-value < 0.05) of pairwise comparisons between transplant indications, after Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons; ^3,4Indicate a significant difference in pTLCratio_Lobar (one-way-anova P-value < 0.05) of pairwise comparisons between transplant indications, after Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons.
