pubmed:abstractText |
Cystic fibrosis is a well acknowledged indication for lung transplantation; however, the optimal timing for transplantation remains debatable. Liou et al. described a score for calculating 5-year probability of survival for patients with cystic fibrosis and concluded that only patients with a probability of survival < 30% gained a survival benefit from transplantation; those between 30% and 50% had equivocal survival effects from transplantation and those > 50% suffered negative effects. The aim of the present study was to determine the validity and applicability of this model.
