Table 2 Baseline demographic and clinical data obtained at transplant assessment for those transplanted and those who died on the waiting list.
| Transplanted (n = 17) | n | Died on list (n = 37) | n | p Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age (years) | 53 (8) | 17 | 55 (7) | 37 | 0.3 |
| 6MWT distance (m) | 226 (106) | 16 | 199 (129) | 30 | 0.5 |
| Desaturation on 6MWT (%) | 79 (10) | 15 | 74 (19) | 28 | 0.07 |
| Body mass index | 25.5 (5.3) | 17 | 26.7 (3.9) | 37 | 0.4 |
| Pao2 (kPa, room air) | 7.9 (1.6) | 12 | 7.7 (1.8) | 24 | 0.7 |
| Paco2 (kPa, room air) | 5.4 (0.9) | 12 | 5.0 (0.6) | 24 | 0.1 |
| FEV1 (% predicted) | 47 (14) | 17 | 48 (16) | 37 | 0.8 |
| VC (% predicted) | 43 (17) | 12 | 44 (17) | 37 | 0.9 |
| Tlco (% predicted)* | 25 (16–36) | 13 | 21 (10–104) | 21 | 0.2 |
| Kco (% predicted)* | 60 (18–96) | 13 | 50 (22–91) | 21 | 0.2 |
| TLC (% predicted)* | 46 (33–86) | 15 | 45 (28–90) | 30 | 0.9 |
Data shown are mean (SD) or *median (range).
6MWT, 6 min walk test; Pao2, Paco2, arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 s; VC, vital capacity; Tlco, total lung transfer factor; Kco, transfer factor corrected for alveolar volume; TLC, total lung capacity.
Mean/median values were compared using the unpaired t test or Mann‐Whitney U test to detect differences in severity of disease (significance, p<0.05).
