Unique Changes in the Lung Microbiome following the Development of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction. [PDF]
The importance of lung microbiome changes in developing chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) after lung transplantation is poorly understood. The lung microbiome–immune interaction may be critical in developing CLAD.

The Association Between Frailty and Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction After Lung Transplantation. [PDF]
Background. After lung transplantation, both frailty and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) commonly develop, and when they do, are associated with poorer outcomes.

Oesophageal stasis is a risk factor for chronic lung allograft dysfunction and allograft failure in lung transplant recipients. [PDF]
Background Morbidity and mortality in lung transplant recipients are often triggered by recurrent aspiration events, potentiated by oesophageal and gastric disorders. Previous small studies have shown conflicting associations between oesophageal function

Potential novel biomarkers for chronic lung allograft dysfunction and azithromycin responsive allograft dysfunction [PDF]
Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD), manifesting as Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) or Restrictive Allograft Syndrome (RAS), is the main reason for adverse long-term outcome after Lung Transplantation (LTX).

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) in the treatment of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD): a prospective, multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial studying the addition of ECP to standard care in the treatment of bilateral lung transplant patients with CLAD (E-CLAD UK). [PDF]
Background Long-term survival after lung transplantation is limited compared with other organ transplants. The main cause is development of progressive immune-mediated damage to the lung allograft.

Lung Transplantation: CT Assessment of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) [PDF]
Chronic lung allograft rejection remains one of the major causes of morbi-mortality after lung transplantation. The term Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) has been proposed to describe the different processes that lead to a significant and ...

Late-Onset Exudative Pleural Effusions Without Concomitant Airway Obstruction or Lung Parenchymal Abnormalities: A Novel Presentation of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction. [PDF]
Restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS) is an aggressive variant of CLAD characterized by progressive restrictive ventilatory decline and persistent pleuro-parenchymal changes that can be seen on chest CT.

Changes in HCMV immune cell frequency and phenotype are associated with chronic lung allograft dysfunction. [PDF]
Background Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is common and often severe in lung transplant recipients (LTRs), and it is a risk factor associated with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD).

Donor-derived cell-free DNA in chronic lung allograft dysfunction phenotypes: a pilot study [PDF]
Long-term survival after lung transplantation is limited due to chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), which encompasses two main phenotypes: bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS).
