Levels of psychosocial functioning were assessed according to Transplantation Evaluation Rating Scale (TERS) in 113 patients prior to lung transplantation. The prevalence of mental disorders was 20%; in addition impaired mental status was observed in 12 (11%) patients. The most frequent diagnoses were dependence on tobacco (9%), adjustment disorders (4%), and dependence on alcohol (2%). In the clinical interview, 87 patients (77%) were assessed as eligible, 20 (18%) as risky, and 6 (5%) as high-risk candidates. The TERS total scores between the eligibility groups differed significantly (F = 19.5; df = 112; P < .001). There were no significant effects of gender and age. Significant inverse correlations were estimated between the TERS score and educational status (r = -.291; P = .002). TERS allows a standardized evaluation of lung transplant candidates with good discrimination into eligibility groups. General psychosocial adaptation is mainly based on the educational level, a factor that should be examined in psychosomatic assessments.
