Pretransplant gastroesophageal reflux compromises early outcomes after lung transplantation [PDF]
, 2011 ObjectivesGastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is implicated as a risk factor for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after lung transplantation, but its effects on acute rejection, early allograft function, and survival are unclear. Therefore, we sought
