Beyond the first post-transplant (post-Tx) year the mortality after lung (LTx) and heart-lung (HLTx) transplantation declines and only few risk factors for long-term survival overlap with hazards for 1-year mortality. We investigated the late mortality risk factors after LTx and HLTx with special attention focused on potential regional and center-specific features. Methods: In 114 adult LTx and HLTx recipients (Tx between 9/1990–9/2002) who survived the first post-Tx year we analyzed the impact of age, gender, donor-recipient interaction, indication for Tx, rejection treatments and post-Tx morbidities. Results:…
