Polastri M, Reed RM. Rehabilitative goals for patients undergoing lung retransplantation. JOURNAL OF YEUNGNAM MEDICAL SCIENCE 2024; 41:134-138.

Abstract
Lung retransplantation (LRT) involves a second or subsequent lung transplant (LT) in a patient whose first transplanted graft has failed. LRT is the only treatment option for irreversible lung allograft failure caused by acute graft failure, chronic lung allograft dysfunction, or postoperative complications of bronchial anastomosis. Prehabilitation (rehabilitation before LT), while patients are on the waiting list, is recognized as an essential component of the therapeutic regimen and should be offered throughout the waiting period from the moment of listing until transplantation. LRT is particularly fraught with challenges, and prehabilitation to reduce frailty is one of the few opportunities to address modifiable risk factors (such as functional and motor impairments) in a patient population in which there is clearly room to improve outcomes. Although rehabilitative outcomes and quality of life in patients receiving or awaiting LT have gained increased interest, there is a paucity of data on rehabilitation in patients undergoing LRT. Frailty is one of the few modifiable risk factors of retransplantation that is potentially preventable. As such, it is imperative that professionals involved in the field of retransplantation conduct research specifically exploring rehabilitative techniques and outcomes of value for patients receiving LRT, because this area remains unexplored.

European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT) Consensus Statement on Prehabilitation for Solid Organ Transplantation Candidates. Transpl Int 2023; 36:11564.

Abstract
There is increasingly growing evidence and awareness that prehabilitation in waitlisted solid organ transplant candidates may benefit clinical transplant outcomes and improve the patient's overall health and quality of life. Lifestyle changes, consisting of physical training, dietary management, and psychosocial interventions, aim to optimize the patient's physical and mental health before undergoing surgery, so as to enhance their ability to overcome procedure-associated stress, reduce complications, and accelerate post-operative recovery. Clinical data are promising but few, and evidence-based recommendations are scarce. To address the need for clinical guidelines, The European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT) convened a dedicated Working Group "Prehabilitation in Solid Organ Transplant Candidates," comprising experts in physical exercise, nutrition and psychosocial interventions, to review the literature on prehabilitation in this population, and develop recommendations. These were discussed and voted upon during the Consensus Conference in Prague, 13-15 November 2022. A high degree of consensus existed amongst all stakeholders including transplant recipients and their representatives. Ten recommendations were formulated that are a balanced representation of current published evidence and real-world practice. The findings and recommendations of the Working Group on Prehabilitation for solid organ transplant candidates are presented in this article.

Psychosocial treatment on psychological symptoms, adherence, and physiological function on transplanted patients: A systematic review and metanalysis. J Psychosom Res 2022; 154:110717. [PMID: 35032913 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychores.2022.110717] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 12/31/2021] [Accepted: 01/03/2022] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transplantation represents an important source of hope for the candidates and produces an intense emotional effect. Psychosocial interventions can be helpful in all transplantation stages to better manage this extraordinarily stressful situation. Aim of the work is to verify the effects of the psychosocial interventions on recipients on psychological symptoms, medical adherence and transplanted solid organ functioning. METHODS This work adhered to PRISMA, STROBE, Cochrane and New Castle Ottawa bias scales and it is registered in PROSPERO. Inserting "Transplant" and "Psychological intervention" as key words in PubMed, Psycinfo, Cochrane database resulted 977 studies from 2001 to 2021. A systematic review and metanalyses were processed on nineteen randomized controlled trials and observative prospective cohort studies. The difference between pre- and post- psychosocial intervention assessment on the psychological variables, medical adherence, and organ functioning outcome was processed. RESULTS Main findings showed that the psychosocial interventions were effective on depression (0.62; CI: 0.32-0.92) and anxiety on kidney recipients (0.49; CI: 0.17-0.81), and on anxiety on heart recipients, mainly when administrated after the surgery (0.68; CI: 0.30-1.06). Moreover, the findings showed a lack of studies on the effectiveness of the psychosocial intervention on organ functioning. CONCLUSION The work highlighted the effectiveness of the psychosocial interventions on psychological outcome, particularly after the surgery and the need to address the research on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the psychosocial interventions on the organ functioning. The findings suggest to integrate the transplantation procedures with psychosocial interventions considering the different needs of recipients in relation to the specific transplanted organ.
