Obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality following heart-lung transplantation. We compared the incidence of death from obliterative bronchiolitis in 19 children and 72 adults following heart-lung transplantation at our institutes. The incidence of death from OB at 2 years was 38% for children compared with 17% for adults, this difference was significant (Cox-Mantel Z value = 2.243, P < 0.05). The frequency of acute lung rejection and persistent lung rejection, previously described as risk factors for OB in adults, were significantly more common in children, P = 0.004 and P = 0.001, respectively. Average forced expiratory volume in 1 s was lower in children than in adults for each 3-month period after transplantation (P < 0.001). In conclusion, identified risk factors for the development of OB were more common, and the risk of death from OB was greater in children than in adults following heart-lung transplantation.
