Résumé
The number of lung transplants performed continues to increase annually and reached an all-time high in 2019, with decreasing waitlist mortality. These trends are attributable to an increasing number of candidates listed for transplant each year and a continuing increase in the number of donors. Despite these favorable trends, 6.4% of lungs recovered for transplant were not transplanted in 2019, and strategies to optimize use of these available organs may reduce the number of waitlist even further. Time to transplant continued to decrease, as over 50% of candidates waited 3 months or less in 2019, yet regional heterogeneity remained despite policy changes intended to improve allocation equity. Small gains continued in posttransplant survival, with 1-year survival at 88.8%; 3 year, 74.4%; 5 year, 59.2%, and 10 year, 33.1 %.
