Zusammenfassung

Study Objectives: Only a few studies with small sample size analyzed sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients after lung transplantation (LuTX). The aim of our study was to test the hypothesis that SDB prevalence is high and pre-transplant COPD is an independent predictor of SDB in LTX. Design: Cross-sectional study Setting: Sleep laboratory Patients or participants: We studied 53 clinically stable lung transplant recipients (31 men, time range after LuTX 9 months to 10 years). Indications for LTX were: 25 COPD, 15 idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, 6 cystic fibrosis, 7 others. Interventions: Polysomnography (PS…
