About

The purposes of the study are (1) to analyze the baseline patient characteristics cross-sectionally, (2) to analyze the prognosis and its predictive factors and (3) to examine the longitudinal clinical course in the lung transplant candidates in Japan.

Full description

The significance of assessing patient reported measurements including health status, dyspnea and psychological status has not been well investigated in the lung transplant candidates. Therefore, in the present study, we aim to examine (1) contributive factors to their health status based on baseline data, (2) whether patient reported measurements would predict patients' prognosis and (3) how they would change for 5 years as compared to physiological measurements.
