Transplant Rates Compared Across Diagnosis Groups
| Outcome | Obstructive lung disease – Group A n = 40 |
Pulmonary arterial hypertension – Group B n = 97 |
Cystic fibrosis – Group C n = 138 |
Interstitial lung disease – Group D n = 789 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transplantation, No. (%) | 29 (72.5) | 48 (49.5) | 102 (73.9) | 492 (62.4) |
| Transplant rate, transplants per person years on waitlist on ECMO | 15.41 | 6.05 | 15.66 | 15.62 |
| Unadjusted SHR for transplant (95% CI) | 1.63 (1.08–2.48) | 1 | 1.83 (1.33–2.53) | 1.51 (1.13–2.02) |
| Adjusteda SHR for transplant | 1.78 (1.17–2.71) | 1 | 1.69 (1.22–2.34) | 1.62 (1.21–2.17) |
Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; ECMO, extracorporeal membrane oxygenatation; SHR, sub-distribution hazard ratio.
The bold values are statistically significant based on the statistical analysis used (i.e. the confidence interval does not cross 1, and the p-value was <0.05).
