The objective of this study was to analyze patient survival after lung transplants performed at the Puerta de Hierro clinic in Madrid (Spain) between 1991 and 1996. Survival probability was 65% after one year and 50% after three years. We found no significant differences in survival related to sex or type of transplant. Early survival tended to be higher for the last two years analyzed (71%) than for the first two (55%) (p < 0.00001). The rate was 100% for patients with cystic fibrosis and 0% for pulmonary hypertension and lymphangiomyomatosis. Short- and medium-term lung function results were good in surviving patients who did not develop obliterating bronchiolitis. We conclude that actuarial survival after lung transplant in our program is comparable to that reported in the literature. There are no significant differences related to sex, type of transplant or period. Survival varies greatly, however, depending on disease.
