Definition of abbreviations: BMI = body mass index; CBP = cardiopulmonary bypass; CI = confidence interval; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; ILD = interstitial lung disease; PGD = primary graft dysfunction.

Effect estimates are risk ratios (95% confidence intervals). Models are adjusted for transplant procedure (bilateral vs. single), systolic pulmonary artery pressure, ischemic time, donor oxygenation, and donor age with a random intercept for study center. Models stratified by cardiopulmonary bypass are adjusted for diagnosis. Models stratified by diagnosis are adjusted for use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
