Lam GY, Patel H, Sharpe H, Li D, Halloran K. Metabolic complications in lung transplantation for cystic fibrosis - A case control study. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30034. [PMID: 38707432 PMCID: PMC11066389 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Metabolic complications post-lung transplant are poorly understood and little is known about how these complications differ between patients with or without cystic fibrosis (pwCF and pwoCF). This study compared post-lung transplant outcomes between pwCF and pwoCF relating to survival and incidence of diabetes, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, and renal impairment. Methods A retrospective (2004-2017) case-control study involving 90 pwCF and 90 pwoCF (age, sex and year of transplant matched) was conducted. Demographic variables, pre/post-transplant metabolic diseases, blood investigations and medications were extracted. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the cohort. Mann-Whitney U and Chi-squared tests were used to analyse morbidity and mortality data. Regression analyses were used to identity independent variables that impacted clinical outcomes. Kaplan Meier analysis with log-rank testing was used to compare survival. Results PwCF were younger, had lower BMIs, and were less likely to have pre-transplant extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use. A total of 37 pwCF and 41 pwoCF died (p = 0.65) during the period of observation with no differences in survival. Adjusting for covariates of age, sex and BMI via multiple logistic regression, CF status was associated with a dramatic increased risk of new-onset diabetes post-transplant (adjusted odds ratio 28.7; 95 % CI, 28.76 to 108.7). No other differences in adjusted risk were found. Conclusions As pwCF had a greater adjusted risk of developing new post-transplant diabetes and experienced metabolic complications at similar rates as pwoCF, the findings highlight the need for rigorous monitoring of pwCF for possible metabolic complications post-transplant.

BMC Pulm Med 2024; 24:237. [PMID: 38745191 PMCID: PMC11094932 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-024-03056-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) can aggravate lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and is a significant risk factor for recipient mortality after lung transplantation. Metformin protects against I/R injury in a variety of organs. However, the effect of metformin on diabetic lung I/R injury remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to observe the effect and mechanism of metformin on lung I/R injury following lung transplantation in type 2 diabetic rats. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following six groups: the control + sham group (CS group), the control + I/R group (CIR group), the DM + sham group (DS group), the DM + I/R group (DIR group), the DM + I/R + metformin group (DIRM group) and the DM + I/R + metformin + Compound C group (DIRMC group). Control and diabetic rats underwent the sham operation or left lung transplantation operation. Lung function, alveolar capillary permeability, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, necroptosis and the p-AMPK/AMPK ratio were determined after 24 h of reperfusion. RESULTS Compared with the CIR group, the DIR group exhibited decreased lung function, increased alveolar capillary permeability, inflammatory responses, oxidative stress and necroptosis, but decreased the p-AMPK/AMPK ratio. Metformin improved the function of lung grafts, decreased alveolar capillary permeability, inflammatory responses, oxidative stress and necroptosis, and increased the p-AMPK/AMPK ratio. In contrast, the protective effects of metformin were abrogated by Compound C. CONCLUSIONS Metformin attenuates lung I/R injury and necroptosis through AMPK pathway in type 2 diabetic lung transplant recipient rats.

Favorable effect of CD26/DPP-4 inhibitors on postoperative outcomes after lung transplantation: A propensity-weighted analysis. J Heart Lung Transplant 2024; 43:66-76. [PMID: 37634575 DOI: 10.1016/j.healun.2023.08.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We have shown the efficacy of CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (CD26/DPP-4) inhibitors, antidiabetic agents, in allograft protection after experimental lung transplantation (LTx). We aimed to elucidate whether CD26/DPP-4 inhibitors effectively improve postoperative outcomes after clinical LTx. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients undergoing LTx at our institution between 2010 and 2021 and extracted records of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) at 6 months post-LTx. The patient characteristics and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. We established 6 months post-LTx as the landmark point for predicting overall survival (OS) and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD)-free survival. Hazard ratios were estimated by Cox regression after propensity score weighting, using CD26/DPP-4 inhibitor treatment up to 6 months post-LTx as the exposure variable. We evaluated CLAD samples pathologically, including for CD26/DPP-4 immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Of 102 LTx patients with DM, 29 and 73 were treated with and without CD26/DPP-4 inhibitors, respectively. Based on propensity score adjustment using standardized mortality ratio weighting, the 5-year OS rates were 77.0% and 44.3%, and the 5-year CLAD-free survival rates 77.8% and 49.1%, in patients treated with and without CD26/DPP-4 inhibitors, respectively. The hazard ratio for CD26/DPP-4 inhibitor use was 0.34 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.14-0.82, p = 0.017) for OS and 0.47 (95% CI 0.22-1.01, p = 0.054) for CLAD-free survival. We detected CD26/DPP-4 expression in the CLAD grafts of patients without CD26/DPP-4 inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS Analysis using propensity score weighting showed that CD26/DPP-4 inhibitors positively affected the postoperative prognosis of LTx patients with DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major driver of chronic diseases around the globe. The aim was to assess the impact of T2D on the outcomes of solid organ transplantations. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients from 2006 to 2021 to collect data for all patients age ≥18 years who received a lung, heart, liver, or kidney transplant in the U.S. RESULTS We included 462,692 solid organ transplant recipients: 31,503 lung, 38,004 heart, 106,639 liver, and 286,440 kidney transplantations. The prevalence of pretransplantation T2D was 15% in lung, 26% in heart, 25% in liver, and 30% in kidney transplant recipients, increasing over time. Posttransplantation mortality was significantly higher among transplant recipients with T2D versus those without T2D (lung 32.1% vs. 29.3% [3 years], 46.4% vs. 42.6% [5 years]; P < 0.01; heart 11.2% vs. 9.1% [1 year], 24.4% vs. 20.6% [5 years]; P < 0.0001; liver 10.6% vs. 8.9% [1 year], 26.2% vs. 22.0% [5 years]; P < 0.0001; kidney 5.3% vs. 2.5% [1 year], 20.8% vs. 10.1% [5 years]; P < 0.0001). Independent association of pretransplantation T2D with higher posttransplantation mortality was significant after adjustment for clinicodemographic confounders (adjusted hazard ratio in lung transplant recipients 1.08 [95% CI 1.03-1.13]; heart 1.26 [1.20-1.32]; liver 1.25 [1.21-1.28]; kidney 1.65 [1.62-1.68]; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of T2D in solid organ transplantation candidates is increasing. In all solid organ transplantations, pretransplantation T2D was independently associated with higher posttransplantation mortality, most profoundly in kidney transplantations.

Development of the Lung Transplant Frailty Scale (LT-FS). J Heart Lung Transplant 2023; 42:892-904. [PMID: 36925382 PMCID: PMC11022684 DOI: 10.1016/j.healun.2023.02.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Existing measures of frailty developed in community dwelling older adults may misclassify frailty in lung transplant candidates. We aimed to develop a novel frailty scale for lung transplantation with improved performance characteristics. METHODS We measured the short physical performance battery (SPPB), fried frailty phenotype (FFP), Body Composition, and serum Biomarkers representative of putative frailty mechanisms. We applied a 4-step established approach (identify frailty domain variable bivariate associations with the outcome of waitlist delisting or death; build models sequentially incorporating variables from each frailty domain cluster; retain variables that improved model performance ability by c-statistic or AIC) to develop 3 candidate "Lung Transplant Frailty Scale (LT-FS)" measures: 1 incorporating readily available clinical data; 1 adding muscle mass, and 1 adding muscle mass and research-grade Biomarkers. We compared construct and predictive validity of LT-FS models to the SPPB and FFP by ANOVA, ANCOVA, and Cox proportional-hazard modeling. RESULTS In 342 lung transplant candidates, LT-FS models exhibited superior construct and predictive validity compared to the SPPB and FFP. The addition of muscle mass and Biomarkers improved model performance. Frailty by all measures was associated with waitlist disability, poorer HRQL, and waitlist delisting/death. LT-FS models exhibited stronger associations with waitlist delisting/death than SPPB or FFP (C-statistic range: 0.73-0.78 vs. 0.57 and 0.55 for SPPB and FFP, respectively). Compared to SPPB and FFP, LT-FS models were generally more strongly associated with delisting/death and improved delisting/death net reclassification, with greater improvements with increasing LT-FS model complexity (range: 0.11-0.34). For example, LT-FS-Body Composition hazard ratio for delisting/death: 6.0 (95%CI: 2.5, 14.2), SPPB HR: 2.5 (95%CI: 1.1, 5.8), FFP HR: 4.3 (95%CI: 1.8, 10.1). Pre-transplant LT-FS frailty, but not SPPB or FFP, was associated with mortality after transplant. CONCLUSIONS The LT-FS is a disease-specific physical frailty measure with face and construct validity that has superior predictive validity over established measures.

Trends and Outcomes in Lung Transplantation in Patients with and without Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in Spain during the Period 2016-2020. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:healthcare11111534. [PMID: 37297674 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11111534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: This paper aims to assess temporal trends (2016-2020) in incidence, patient's characteristics, complications, length of hospital stay (LOHS) and in-hospital mortality (IHM) among patients with and without idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) undergoing lung transplantation (LTx). We also analyse the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on LTx in these populations. (2) Methods: A retrospective, population-based observational study was conducted using the Spanish National Hospital Discharge Database. Multivariable adjustment was conducted with logistic regression to analyse the IHM. (3) Results: We identified 1777 admissions for LTx during the study period, of which 573 (32.2%) were performed in patients with IPF. The number of hospital admissions for LTx rose from 2016 to 2020, both in patients with and without IPF, but a marked reduction was observed from year 2019 to year 2020. Over time, the proportion of single LTx decreased and bilateral LTx increased significantly in both groups. The incidence of LTx complications increased significantly over time along with the increase in the incidence of IPF. No significant differences in the incidence of complications or in the IHM between patients with and without IPF were found. Suffering any complication of the LTx and pulmonary hypertension were conditions positively associated with IHM in patients with and without IPF. The IHM remained stable from 2016 to 2020 in both study populations and was not affected by the COVID pandemic. (4) Conclusions: Patients with IPF account for almost a third of all lung transplants. The number of LTx increased over time in patients with and without IPF, but a marked reduction was observed from 2019 to 2020. Although the proportion of LTx complications increased significantly over time in both groups, the IHM did not change. IPF was not associated with increased complications or IHM after LTx.

Everolimus Based Immunosuppression Strategies in Adult Lung Transplant Recipients: Calcineurin Inhibitor Minimization Versus Calcineurin Inhibitor Elimination. Transpl Int 2023; 36:10704.

Abstract
Everolimus (EVE) provides an alternative to maintenance immunosuppression when conventional immunosuppression cannot be tolerated. EVE can be utilized with a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) minimization or elimination strategy. To date, clinical studies investigating EVE after lung transplant (LTx) have primarily focused on the minimization strategy to preserve renal function. The primary aim was to determine the preferred method of EVE utilization for lung transplant recipients (LTR). To undertake this aim, we compared the safety and efficacy outcomes of EVE as part of minimization and elimination immunosuppressant regimens. Single center retrospective study of 217 LTR initiated on EVE (120 CNI minimization and 97 CNI elimination). Survival outcomes were calculated from the date of EVE commencement. On multivariate analysis, LTR who received EVE as part of the CNI elimination strategy had poorer survival outcomes compared to the CNI minimization strategy [HR 1.61, 95% CI: 1.11-2.32, p=0.010]. Utilization of EVE for renal preservation was associated with improved survival compared to other indications [HR 0.64, 95% CI: 0.42-0.97, p=0.032]. EVE can be successfully utilized for maintenance immunosuppression post LTx, particularly for renal preservation. However, immunosuppressive regimens containing low dose CNI had superior survival outcomes, highlighting the importance of retaining a CNI wherever possible.

Abstract
Lung transplantation provides a treatment option for many individuals with advanced lung disease due to cystic fibrosis (CF). Since the first transplants for CF in the 1980s, survival has improved and the opportunity for transplant has expanded to include individuals who previously were not considered candidates for transplant. Criteria to be a transplant candidate vary significantly among transplant programs, highlighting that the engagement in more than one transplant program may be necessary. Individuals with highly resistant CF pathogens, malnutrition, osteoporosis, CF liver disease, and other comorbidities may be suitable candidates for lung transplant, or if needed, multi-organ transplant. The transplant process involves several phases, from discussion of prognosis and referral to a transplant center, to transplant evaluation, to listing, transplant surgery, and care after transplant. While the availability of highly effective CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators for many individuals with CF has improved lung function and slowed progression to respiratory failure, early discussion regarding transplant as a treatment option and referral to a transplant program are critical to maximizing opportunity and optimizing patient and family experience. The decision to be evaluated for transplant and to list for transplant are distinct, and early referral may provide a treatment option that can be urgently executed if needed. Survival after transplant for CF is improving, to a median survival of approximately 10 years, and most transplant survivors enjoy significant improvement in quality of life.

Survival difference between high-risk and low-risk CFTR genotypes after lung transplant. J Heart Lung Transplant 2022; 41:1511-1519. [PMID: 35864004 PMCID: PMC10124119 DOI: 10.1016/j.healun.2022.04.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND While cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) genotypes are associated with clinical outcomes in cystic fibrosis patients, it is unknown if genotype impacts lung transplant outcomes. We sought to compare lung transplant survival and time to bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) between high-risk, low-risk, and not yet classified CFTR genotypes. METHODS We used merged data from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (2005-2017) and United States Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry (2005-2016). Cox Proportional Hazards models compared graft failure after lung transplant and time to BOS among high-risk, low-risk, and not yet classified risk CFTR genotype classes. RESULTS Among 1,830 cystic fibrosis lung transplant recipients, median survival for those with low-risk, high-risk, and not yet classified genotype was 9.83, 6.25, and 5.75 years, respectively. Adjusted Cox models showed recipients with a low-risk genotype had 39% lower risk of death or re-transplant compared to those with high-risk genotype (adjusted HR 0.61, 95% CI = 0.40, 0.91). A subset of 1,585 lung transplant recipients were included in the BOS subgroup analysis. Adjusted analyses showed no significant difference of developing BOS among high-risk, low-risk, or not yet classified genotypes. CONCLUSIONS Lung transplant recipients with low-risk CFTR genotype have better survival after transplant compared to recipients with high-risk or not yet classified genotypes. Given these differences, future studies evaluating the mechanism by which CFTR genotype affects post-transplant survival could identify potential targets for intervention.

Abstract
Lung transplantation is considered a viable treatment option for patients with end-stage lung disease. Recent decades have seen a gradual increase in the number of lung transplantation patients worldwide, and in South Korea, the case number has increased at least 3-fold during the last decade. Furthermore, the waiting list time is becoming longer, and more elderly patients (>65 years) are undergoing lung transplantation; that is, the patients placed on the waiting list are older and sicker than in the past. Hence, proper management during the pre-transplantation period, as well as careful selection of candidates, is a key factor for transplant success and patient survival. Although referring and transplant centers should address many issues, the main areas of focus should be the timing of referral, nutrition, pulmonary rehabilitation, critical care (including mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), psychological support, and the management of preexisting comorbid conditions (coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, gastroesophageal reflux disease, osteoporosis, malignancy, viral infections, and chronic infections). In this context, the present article reviews and summarizes the pre-transplantation management strategies for adult patients listed for lung transplantation.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is a common complication of cystic fibrosis (CF), and restoring metabolic control in these patients may improve their management after lung transplantation. In this multicenter, prospective, phase 1-2 trial, we evaluate the feasibility and metabolic efficacy of combined pancreatic islet-lung transplantation from a single donor in patients with CFRD, terminal respiratory failure, and poorly controlled diabetes. Islets were infused via the portal vein under local anesthesia, 1 week after lung transplantation. At 1 year, the primary outcome was transplant success as evaluated by a composite score including four parameters (weight, fasting glycemia, HbA1c, and insulin requirements). Ten participants (age: 24 years [17-31], diabetes duration: 8 years [4-12]) received a combined islet-lung transplant with 2892 IEQ/kg [2293-6185]. Transplant success was achieved in 7 out of 10 participants at 1-year post transplant. Fasting plasma C-peptide increased from 0.91 μg/L [0.56-1.29] to 1.15 μg/L [0.77-2.2], HbA1c decreased from 7.8% [6.5-8.3] (62 mmol/mol [48-67]) to 6.7% [5.5-8.0] (50 mmol/mol [37-64]), with 38% decrease in daily insulin doses. No complications related to the islet injection procedure were reported. In this pilot study, combined pancreatic islet-lung transplantation restored satisfactory metabolic control and pulmonary function in patients with CF, without increasing the morbidity of lung transplantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Identifying the risks for chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) after lung transplantation (LTx) is beneficial to the patient. We hypothesized that diabetes mellitus (DM) is relevant to CLAD development. Our study aimed to clarify if DM is a risk for poor post-LTx outcomes. METHODS The records of patients first undergoing LTx in our institution between 2010 and 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Patient characteristics and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. We established 6 months post-LTx as the landmark point for predicting overall survival (OS) and CLAD development. To identify perioperative DM, we evaluated the patient for DM at 6 months post-LTx. RESULTS A total of 172 patients were investigated. DM and CLAD occurred in 76 and 39 patients, respectively, and 40 died. At 6 months post-LTx, the unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of DM for OS were 3.36 (95% confidence interval [CI95%] = [1.67-6.73]) and 2.78 (CI95% = [1.35-5.75]), respectively. The unadjusted and adjusted HRs of DM for CLAD-free survival were 2.20 (CI95% = [1.27-3.80]) and 2.15 (CI95% = [1.24-3.74]). The patients with DM were older and had a higher body mass index and more incidents of post-LTx malignant disease than the non-DM patients. The five-year OS and CLAD-free survival rates of the patients with or without DM were 57.2% vs 86.5% and 50.1% vs 72.9%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative DM was identified as an independent adverse factor for OS and CLAD-free survival. Perioperative management of DM should be emphasized in the clinical setting of lung transplantation.

Abstract
Objectives Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic fibrotic lung disease characterized by dry cough, fatigue, and progressive exertional dyspnea. Lung parenchyma and architecture is destroyed, compliance is lost, and gas exchange is compromised in this debilitating condition that leads inexorably to respiratory failure and death within 3–5 years of diagnosis. This review discusses treatment approaches to IPF in current use and those that appear promising for future development. Data Source The data were obtained from the Randomized Controlled Trials and scientific studies published in English literature. We used search terms related to IPF, antifibrotic treatment, lung transplant, and management. Results Etiopathogenesis of IPF is not fully understood, and treatment options are limited. Pathological features of IPF include extracellular matrix remodeling, fibroblast activation and proliferation, immune dysregulation, cell senescence, and presence of aberrant basaloid cells. The mainstay therapies are the oral antifibrotic drugs pirfenidone and nintedanib, which can improve quality of life, attenuate symptoms, and slow disease progression. Unilateral or bilateral lung transplantation is the only treatment for IPF shown to increase life expectancy. Conclusion Clearly, there is an unmet need for accelerated research into IPF mechanisms so that progress can be made in therapeutics toward the goals of increasing life expectancy, alleviating symptoms, and improving well‐being.

Abstract
Lung transplantation (LTx) has evolved significantly since its inception and the improvement in LTx outcomes over the last three decades has predominantly been driven by advances in immunosuppression management. Despite the lack of new classes of immunosuppression medications, immunosuppressive strategies have evolved significantly from a universal method to a more targeted approach, reflecting a greater understanding of the need for individualized therapy and careful consideration of all factors that are influenced by immunosuppression choice. This has become increasingly important as the demographics of lung transplant recipients have changed over time, with older and more medically complex candidates being accepted and undergoing LTx. Furthermore, improved survival post lung transplant has translated into more immunosuppression related comorbidities long-term, predominantly chronic kidney disease (CKD) and malignancy, which has required further nuanced management approaches. This review provides an update on current traditional lung transplant immunosuppression strategies, with modifications based on pre-existing recipient factors and comorbidities, peri-operative challenges and long term complications, balanced against the perpetual challenge of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). As we continue to explore and understand the complexity of LTx immunology and the interplay of different factors, immunosuppression strategies will require ongoing critical evaluation and personalization in order to continue to improve lung transplant outcomes.

Abstract
Poor nutritional status and decreased lean body mass. Decline in pulmonary function. Increased mortality from lung disease. Microvascular complications. Macrovascular complications (not currently a significant complication but this may change with modulators).
Cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) occurs in at least 40–50% of adults with CF. With other forms of diabetes, microvascular and macrovascular disease are the major causes of morbidity and mortality. Macrovascular disease is rare in CF. While microvascular disease does occur in this population, there are CF-specific diabetes complications that have a more important impact on prognosis. The additional diagnosis of diabetes in CF is associated with decreased lung function, poor nutritional status, and an overall increase in mortality from lung disease. These negative findings start even before the clinical diagnosis of CFRD, during the period when patients experience abnormal glucose tolerance related to insulin insufficiency. The main mechanisms by which CFRD negatively affects prognosis are thought to be a combination of 1) protein catabolism, decreased lean body mass and undernutrition resulting from insulin insufficiency, and 2) an increased pro-inflammatory and pro-infectious state related to intermittent hyperglycemia. With the introduction of CFTR modulators, the care of CF patients has been revolutionized and many aspects of CF health such as BMI and lung function are improving. The impact of these drugs on the adverse prognosis related to the diagnosis of diabetes in CF, as well as the potential to delay or prevent onset of CFRD remain to be determined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a key contributing factor to poor survival in lung transplantation recipients. Mitochondrial dysfunction is recognized as a critical mediator in the pathogenesis of diabetic lung ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. The protective effects of adiponectin have been demonstrated in our previous study, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here we demonstrated an important role of mitophagy in the protective effect of adiponectin during diabetic lung IR injury. METHODS High-fat diet-fed streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rats were exposed to adiponectin with or without administration of the SIRT1 inhibitor EX527 following lung transplantation. To determine the mechanisms underlying the action of adiponectin, rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells were transfected with SIRT1 small-interfering RNA or PINK1 small-interfering RNA and then subjected to in vitro diabetic lung IR injury. RESULTS Mitophagy was impaired in diabetic lungs subjected to IR injury, which was accompanied by increased oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Adiponectin induced mitophagy and attenuated subsequent diabetic lung IR injury by improving lung functional recovery, suppressing oxidative damage, diminishing inflammation, decreasing cell apoptosis, and preserving mitochondrial function. However, either administration of 3-methyladenine (3-MA), an autophagy antagonist or knockdown of PINK1 reduced the protective action of adiponectin. Furthermore, we demonstrated that APN affected PINK1 stabilization via the SIRT1 signaling pathway, and knockdown of SIRT1 suppressed PINK1 expression and compromised the protective effect of adiponectin. CONCLUSION These data demonstrated that adiponectin attenuated reperfusion-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction via activation of SIRT1- PINK1 signaling-mediated mitophagy in diabetic lung IR injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) might be preventable. METHODS This open-label, multicenter randomized trial compared 133 kidney transplant recipients given intermediate-acting insulin isophane for postoperative afternoon glucose ≥140 mg/dl with 130 patients given short-acting insulin for fasting glucose ≥200 mg/dl (control). The primary end point was PTDM (antidiabetic treatment or oral glucose tolerance test-derived 2 hour glucose ≥200 mg/dl) at month 12 post-transplant. RESULTS In the intention-to-treat population, PTDM rates at 12 months were 12.2% and 14.7% in treatment versus control groups, respectively (odds ratio [OR], 0.82; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.39 to 1.76) and 13.4% versus 17.4%, respectively, at 24 months (OR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.34 to 1.49). In the per-protocol population, treatment resulted in reduced odds for PTDM at 12 months (OR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.16 to 1.01) and 24 months (OR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.24 to 1.20). After adjustment for polycystic kidney disease, per-protocol ORs for PTDM (treatment versus controls) were 0.21 (95% CI, 0.07 to 0.62) at 12 months and 0.35 (95% CI, 0.14 to 0.87) at 24 months. Significantly more hypoglycemic events (mostly asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic) occurred in the treatment group versus the control group. Within the treatment group, nonadherence to the insulin initiation protocol was associated with significantly higher odds for PTDM at months 12 and 24. CONCLUSIONS At low overt PTDM incidence, the primary end point in the intention-to-treat population did not differ significantly between treatment and control groups. In the per-protocol analysis, early basal insulin therapy resulted in significantly higher hypoglycemia rates but reduced odds for overt PTDM-a significant reduction after adjustment for baseline differences-suggesting the intervention merits further study.Clinical Trial registration number: NCT03507829.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Over the past two decades, lung transplant has become the mainstay of treatment for several end-stage lung diseases. As the field continues to evolve, the criteria for referral and listing have also changed. The last update to these guidelines was in 2014 and several studies since then have changed how patients are transplanted. Our article aims to briefly discuss these updates in lung transplantation. RECENT FINDINGS This article discusses the importance of early referral of patients for lung transplantation and the concept of the 'transplant window'. We review the referral and listing criteria for some common pulmonary diseases and also cite the updated literature surrounding the absolute and relative contraindications keeping in mind that they are a constantly moving target. Frailty and psychosocial barriers are difficult to assess with the current assessment tools but continue to impact posttransplant outcomes. Finally, we discuss the limited data on transplantation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID19 as well as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation bridge to transplantation. SUMMARY The findings discussed in this article will strongly impact, if not already, how we select candidates for lung transplantation. It also addresses some aspects of lung transplant such as frailty and ARDS, which need better assessment tools and clinical data.

Abstract
Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) shows a relationship with risk factors including obesity and tacrolimus-based immunosuppression, which decreases pancreatic insulin secretion. Several of the sodium-glucose-linked transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) dramatically improve outcomes of individuals with type 2 diabetes with and without chronic kidney disease, which is, as heart failure and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, differentially affected by both drug classes (presumably). Here, we discuss SGLT2is and GLP1-RAs in context with other PTDM management strategies, including modification of immunosuppression, active lifestyle intervention, and early postoperative insulin administration. We also review recent studies with SGLT2is in PTDM, reporting their safety and antihyperglycemic efficacy, which is moderate to low, depending on kidney function. Finally, we reference retrospective case reports with GLP1-RAs that have not brought forth major concerns, likely indicating that GLP1-RAs are ideal for PTDM patients suffering from obesity. Although our article encompasses PTDM after solid organ transplantation in general, data from kidney transplant recipients constitute the largest proportion. The PTDM research community still requires data that treating and preventing PTDM will improve clinical conditions beyond hyperglycemia. We therefore suggest that it is time to collaborate, in testing novel antidiabetics among patients of all transplant disciplines.

Abstract
Lung ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury remains a significant factor for the early mortality of lung transplantations. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for 5-year mortality following lung transplantation. Our previous study showed that DM aggravated lung IR injury and that oxidative stress played a key role in this process. Previously, we demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) protected against diabetic lung IR injury by suppressing oxidative damage. This study aimed to examine the mechanism by which H2S affects diabetic lung IR injury. High-fat-diet-fed streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rats were exposed to GYY4137, a slow-releasing H2S donor with or without administration of EX527 (a SIRT1 inhibitor), and then subjected to a surgical model of IR injury of the lung. Lung function, oxidative stress, cell apoptosis, and inflammation were assessed. We found that impairment of lung SIRT1 signaling under type 2 diabetic conditions was further exacerbated by IR injury. GYY4137 treatment markedly activated SIRT1 signaling and ameliorated lung IR injury in type 2 DM animals by improving lung functional recovery, diminishing oxidative damage, reducing inflammation, and suppressing cell apoptosis. However, these effects were largely compromised by EX527. Additionally, treatment with GYY4137 significantly activated the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant signaling pathway and increased eNOS phosphorylation. However, these effects were largely abolished by EX527. Together, our results indicate that GYY4137 treatment effectively attenuated lung IR injury under type 2 diabetic conditions via activation of lung SIRT1 signaling. SIRT1 activation upregulated Nrf2/HO-1 and activated the eNOS-mediated antioxidant signaling pathway, thus reducing cell apoptosis and inflammation and eventually preserving lung function.

Frailty after lung transplantation is associated with impaired health-related quality of life and mortality. Thorax 2020; 75:669-678.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung transplantation and related medications are associated with pathobiological changes that can induce frailty, a state of decreased physiological reserve. Causes of persistent or emergent frailty after lung transplantation, and whether such transplant-related frailty is associated with key outcomes, are unknown. METHODS Frailty and health-related quality of life (HRQL) were prospectively measured repeatedly for up to 3 years after lung transplantation. Frailty, quantified by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), was tested as a time-dependent binary and continuous predictor. The association of transplant-related frailty with HRQL and mortality was evaluated using mixed effects and Cox regression models, respectively, adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, diagnosis, and for body mass index and lung function as time-dependent covariates. We tested the association between measures of body composition, malnutrition, renal dysfunction and immunosuppressants on the development of frailty using mixed effects models with time-dependent predictors and lagged frailty outcomes. RESULTS Among 259 adults (56% male; mean age 55.9±12.3 years), transplant-related frailty was associated with lower HRQL. Frailty was also associated with a 2.5-fold higher mortality risk (HR 2.51; 95% CI 1.21 to 5.23). Further, each 1-point worsening in SPPB was associated, on average, with a 13% higher mortality risk (HR 1.13; 95% CI 1.04 to 1.23). Secondarily, we found that sarcopenia, underweight and obesity, malnutrition, and renal dysfunction were associated with the development of frailty after transplant. CONCLUSIONS Transplant-related frailty is associated with lower HRQL and higher mortality in lung recipients. Abnormal body composition, malnutrition and renal dysfunction may contribute to the development of frailty after transplant. Confirming the role of these potential contributors and developing interventions to mitigate frailty may improve lung transplant success.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Precise estimates of the long-term risk of new-onset diabetes and its impact on mortality among transplanted children are not known. METHODS We conducted a cohort study comparing children undergoing solid organ (kidney, heart, liver, lung and multiple organ) transplant (n = 1020) between 1991 and 2014 with healthy non-transplanted children (n = 7 134 067) using Ontario health administrative data. Outcomes included incidence of diabetes among transplanted and non-transplanted children, the relative hazard of diabetes among solid organ transplant recipients, overall and at specific intervals posttransplant, and mortality among diabetic transplant recipients. RESULTS During 56 019 824 person-years of follow-up, the incidence rate of diabetes was 17.8 [95% confidence interval (CI) 15-21] and 2.5 (95% CI 2.5-2.5) per 1000 person-years among transplanted and non-transplanted children, respectively. The transplant cohort had a 9-fold [hazard ratio (HR) 8.9; 95% CI 7.5-10.5] higher hazard of diabetes compared with those not transplanted. Risk was highest within the first year after transplant (HR 20.7; 95% CI 15.9-27.1), and remained elevated even at 5 and 10 years of follow-up. Lung and multiple organ recipients had a 5-fold (HR 5.4; 95% CI 3.0-9.8) higher hazard of developing diabetes compared with kidney transplant recipients. Transplant recipients with diabetes had a three times higher hazard of death compared with those who did not develop diabetes (HR 3.3; 95% CI 2.3-4.8). CONCLUSIONS The elevated risk of diabetes in transplant recipients persists even after a decade, highlighting the importance of ongoing surveillance. Diabetes after transplantation increases the risk of mortality among childhood transplant recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is among several factors considered when assessing the suitability of donated organs for transplantation. Lungs from diabetic donors (LDD) are not contraindicated for use as allografts, despite established evidence of diabetes-mediated parenchymal damage. The present study used a national database to assess the impact of donor diabetes on the longevity of lung transplant recipients. METHODS This retrospective study of the United Network for Organ Sharing database analyzed all adult lung transplant recipients from June 2005 through September 2016. Donor and recipient demographics including the presence of diabetes were used to create a multivariable model. The primary outcome was 5-y mortality, with hazard ratios (HRs) assessed using multivariable Cox regression analysis. Survival curves were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Of the 17,839 lung transplant recipients analyzed, 1203 (6.7%) received LDD. Recipients of LDD were more likely to be female (44.1% versus 40.2%, P < 0.01) and have mismatched race (47.5% versus 42.2%, P < 0.01). Diabetic donors were more likely to have hypertension (74.6% versus 19.0%, P < 0.01). Multivariable analysis revealed LDD to be an independent predictor of mortality at 5 y (HR 1.16 [1.04-1.29], P < 0.01). However, among the subgroup of diabetic recipients, transplantation of LDD showed no independent association with 5-y mortality (HR 0.81 [0.63-1.06], P = 0.12). CONCLUSIONS Recipients of LDD had a lower 5-y post lung transplantation survival compared with recipients of lungs from nondiabetic donors. LDD allografts did not influence the survival of diabetic recipients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the prevalence of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) before and after lung transplantation (LT); to analyse the survival and renal function after LT according to the CFRD status before LT. METHODS Sixty cystic fibrosis (CF) patients transplanted at the Lyon University Hospital between 2004 and 2014 were included. Genotype, pancreatic status, age at LT, survival were recorded. Glucose tolerance status, daily insulin dose requirement, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and daily glucocorticoid (GC) dose were recorded before LT and until December 2016. RESULTS The median follow-up was 5.6 (3.8-8.2) years, and nine patients died. Survival was poorest for patients with CFRD before LT compared with those without CFRD (P = 0.03) but was not correlated with the GFR before LT, with sex, age at LT, or CF genotype. The prevalence of CFRD was 68% at 2 years and 54% at 5 years. For persistent insulin-treated CFRD, the insulin requirement decreased (-2.1 IU/d/y; P < 0.01) and was correlated with the daily GC dose (+0.4 IU/d for one additional milligram, P = 0.012). Seven (11%) patients who had insulin-treated CFRD before LT became nondiabetic after LT, with a median time of 2 (1-4) years. After LT, the GFR decreased (-5.3 ml/min/1.73 m 2 /y; P < 0.001) and was not correlated with the CFRD status before LT. CONCLUSIONS CFRD before LT is associated with poor survival after LT, which should lead to better management of diabetes. Some patients with pre-LT CFRD became nondiabetic after LT. CFRD is not associated with renal insufficiency after LT.

Abstract
Two-stage exchange is most commonly used for treatment of prosthetic joint infections (PJI) but, this may fail to eradicate infections. C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) has been used to predict survival and operative success in other surgical subspecialties and so, we assess the association between CAR and reimplantation success during two-stage revision for PJI defined by the Musculoskeletal Infection Society following a primary total hip (THA) or knee (TKA) arthroplasty. From January, 2005 to December, 2015, two institutional databases were queried and patient demographics, antibiotic duration, C-reactive protein, and albumin were collected prior to reimplantation. Two-stage revisions were considered successful if patients were off of antibiotics and did not require a repeat surgery. CAR was available for 79 patients (34 hips and 46 knees) with 61 successful two-stage revisions and 18 failures. The average CAR for patients with successful reimplantation was 1.2 (0.2, 3.0) compared to 1.0 (0.4, 3.2) for treatment failure. However, this was not statistically significant (p=0.766). Therefore, CAR is not applicable in predicting the prognosis of two-stage revisions for PJI in total arthroplasty but other preoperative inflammatory-based prognostic scores should be explored.

Abstract
Pancreatic islet transplantation has become an established approach to β-cell replacement therapy for the treatment of insulin-deficient diabetes. Recent progress in techniques for islet isolation, islet culture, and peritransplant management of the islet transplant recipient has resulted in substantial improvements in metabolic and safety outcomes for patients. For patients requiring total or subtotal pancreatectomy for benign disease of the pancreas, isolation of islets from the diseased pancreas with intrahepatic transplantation of autologous islets can prevent or ameliorate postsurgical diabetes, and for patients previously experiencing painful recurrent acute or chronic pancreatitis, quality of life is substantially improved. For patients with type 1 diabetes or insulin-deficient forms of pancreatogenic (type 3c) diabetes, isolation of islets from a deceased donor pancreas with intrahepatic transplantation of allogeneic islets can ameliorate problematic hypoglycemia, stabilize glycemic lability, and maintain on-target glycemic control, consequently with improved quality of life, and often without the requirement for insulin therapy. Because the metabolic benefits are dependent on the numbers of islets transplanted that survive engraftment, recipients of autoislets are limited to receive the number of islets isolated from their own pancreas, whereas recipients of alloislets may receive islets isolated from more than one donor pancreas. The development of alternative sources of islet cells for transplantation, whether from autologous, allogeneic, or xenogeneic tissues, is an active area of investigation that promises to expand access and indications for islet transplantation in the future treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Solid organ transplantation (SOT) is a life-saving procedure and an established treatment for patients with end-stage organ failure. However, transplantation is also accompanied by associated cardiovascular risk factors, of which post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is one of the most important. PTDM develops in 10-20% of patients with kidney transplants and in 20-40% of patients who have undergone other SOT. PTDM increases mortality, which is best documented in patients who have received kidney and heart transplants. PTDM results from predisposing factors (similar to type 2 diabetes mellitus) but also as a result of specific post-transplant risk factors. Although PTDM has many characteristics in common with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the prevention and treatment of the two disorders are often different. Over the past 20 years, the lifespan of patients who have undergone SOT has increased, and PTDM becomes more common over the lifespan of these patients. Accordingly, PTDM becomes an important condition not only to be aware of but also to treat. This Review presents the current knowledge on PTDM in patients receiving kidney, heart, liver and lung transplants. This information is not only for transplant health providers but also for endocrinologists and others who will meet these patients in their clinics.

Abstract
Solid organ transplant candidates undergo very strict screening for cardiovascular risk. Such screening has permitted significant decreases in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality over the ensuing decades of follow up. Long term follow-up has enabled us to identify an increasing incidence of pulmonary and urinary tract infections with or without sepsis as competing factors of morbidity and mortality. Indeed, all-cause mortality may now be dominated by infection-related endpoints. No population of transplant recipients is more naturally susceptible to infection as a diabetic subset, now submitted to immunosuppression. The current review details infection risk for kidney, liver, heart, and lung allograft recipients. A specific feature of this report emphasizes the enhanced risk for bacterial and fungal infection found in diabetic allograft recipients on immunosuppression therapy. The risk of repeated prescription of antibiotics in terms of evolutions of resistant strains of infectious pathogens is emphasized.

Abstract
AIMS To describe trends and outcomes during admission for solid organ transplant in people with or without type 2 diabetes in Spain, 2001-2015. METHODS We used national hospital discharge data to select all hospital admissions for kidney, lung, heart, and liver transplant. We estimated admission rates stratified by type 2 diabetes status. We built Poisson regression models to compare the adjusted time trends in admission rates. We tested in-hospital mortality (IHM) in logistic regression analyses. RESULTS We identified 50 964 transplants (16.7% in people with type 2 diabetes): kidney, 30 919; lung, 2810; heart, 3649; liver, 13 586. The overall adjusted incidence rate ratios (95% confidence intervals) of admission in people with type 2 diabetes vs no diabetes were 2.4 (2.32-2.48) for kidney, 1.51 (1.33-1.70) for lung, 2.87 (2.63-3.13) for heart, and 4.16 (3.99-4.33) for liver transplant. In the multivariate analysis, IHM decreased significantly over time for all types of transplant. Type 2 diabetes independently predicted lower IHM during admission only for heart (Odds ratio, OR [95% CI] = 0.62 [0.47-0.81]) and liver transplant (OR [95% CI] = 0.69 [0.58-0.82]). CONCLUSIONS Admission rates for solid organ transplant were higher in people with type 2 diabetes than in people without diabetes. Type 2 diabetes was associated with lower in-hospital mortality during admission for heart and liver transplant.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease with pulmonary involvement being predominant and often leading to respiratory failure and premature death. Non-pulmonary complications related to CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) defect are numerous and account for significant morbidity (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, diabetes, CF-related liver disease, chronic sinusitis, osteoporosis). Improvement in patients' care led to a continuous increase in life expectancy, with a subsequent increase in the number of adult CF patients worldwide. Increased life expectancy comes with increased prevalence of CF-related comorbidities, but also with new emerging complications directly related to ageing (chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular risk factors, cancers). CFTR modulators might also contribute to modify the face of CF epidemiology and prognosis. Ageing with CF has become a challenge for CF patients and caregivers. This review summarizes classic and emerging comorbidities in the context of current growth and ageing of the CF population. It also addresses potential roles of CFTR modulators.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Survival after lung transplantation lags behind outcomes of other solid organ transplants, and complications from lung transplant are the second most common cause of death in cystic fibrosis. Evolving surgical techniques, therapeutics, and perioperative management have improved short-term survival after lung transplantation, yet have not translated into significant improvement in long-term mortality. Areas covered: We review risk factors for poor long-term outcomes among patients with cystic fibrosis undergoing lung transplantation to highlight areas for improvement. This includes reasons for organ dysfunction, complications of immunosuppression, further exacerbation of extrapulmonary complications of cystic fibrosis, and quality of life. A literature search was performed using PubMed-indexed journals. Expert commentary: There are multiple medical and socioeconomic barriers that threaten long-term survival following lung transplant for patients with cystic fibrosis. An understanding of the causes of each could elucidate treatment options. There is a lack of prospective, multicenter, randomized control trials due to cost, complexity, and feasibility. Ongoing prospective studies should be reserved for the most promising interventions identified in retrospective studies in order to improve long-term outcomes.

Abstract
An optimal nutritional status is associated with better post-transplant outcomes and survival. Post-lung transplant nutrition management is however particularly challenging as lung recipients represent a very heterogeneous group of patients in terms of age, underlying diseases, weight status and presence of comorbidities. Furthermore, the post-transplant period encompasses several stages characterized by physiological and pathophysiological changes that affect nutritional status of patients and necessitate tailored nutrition management. We provide an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding nutritional requirements in the post-lung transplant period from the immediate post-operative phase to long-term follow-up. In the immediate post-transplantation phase, the high doses of immunosuppressants and corticosteroids, the goal of maintaining hemodynamic stability, the presence of a catabolic state, and the wound healing process increase nutritional demands and lead to metabolic perturbations that necessitate nutritional interventions. As time from transplantation increases, complications such as obesity, osteoporosis, cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease, may develop and require adjustments to nutrition management. Until specific nutritional guidelines for lung recipients are elaborated, recommendations regarding nutrient requirements are formulated to provide guidance for clinicians caring for these patients. Finally, the management of recipients with special considerations is also briefly addressed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Now that long-term survival after successful renal transplantation is no longer limited by excessive cardiovascular risk, the primary care physician should consider that infection and malignancy are leading noncardiovascular causes of death even in the recipient with diabetes. METHODS We accessed the National Institutes of Health-sponsored Folic Acid for Vascular Outcome Reduction in Transplantation (FAVORIT) study population (4010 renal transplant recipients with elevated homocysteine levels) studied to determine whether folate and B12 supplementation would reduce cardiovascular end points. This trial had a null result. Patients were classified as being nondiabetic or having type 1 or type 2 diabetes. RESULTS We report an excess (cardiovascular and noncardiovascular) 6-year mortality risk associated with the presence of diabetes mellitus. Two thirds of fatal events in our renal transplant recipients were centrally adjudicated as noncardiovascular. The incidence of noncardiovascular death was 70% higher in the diabetic patient cohort than in the nondiabetic cohort. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that infection (but not malignancy) risks are far higher in diabetic than nondiabetic immunosuppressed individuals (although noncardiovascular death rate in nondiabetic individuals also exceeded cardiovascular deaths) and may play a larger role in the excess mortality populations than previously thought. Given that follow-up in this study was 4 to 10 years after allograft surgery, there was a lesser degree of acute rejection requiring high-dose immunosuppression than in the initial postallograft years. This unique perspective allows transplant recipients to return to primary physicians when taking low doses of immunosuppressive agents and provides focus for follow-up care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are discrepancies between studies regarding the effect of diabetes mellitus on morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing liver transplantation. The aim of the present study was to compare mortality, risk of liver graft rejection, and cardiovascular events in patients with and without diabetes undergoing liver transplantation over a 10-year follow-up period. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 183 patients who underwent liver transplantation in 2005 and 2006. Mortality and morbidity data were collected until 2016, including information on mortality and survival time, graft rejection and graft survival time, coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral arterial ischemia. RESULTS During the follow-up, 41.3% and 27.8% of patients in the groups with and without diabetes, respectively, died. A trend for lower survival time was observed in patients with diabetes, although this effect was not confirmed by the Cox regression model. There was an increased risk of graft rejection in the group with diabetes compared with the group without diabetes ( P < 0.001). In the survival analysis, diabetes was associated with reduced graft survival time ( P = 0.001). Cardiovascular events were also more likely in the group with diabetes ( P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS In the present study diabetes was associated with a higher risk of liver graft rejection and cardiovascular events. There was also a trend for higher mortality, although the effect was not statistically significant. These findings suggest that patients with diabetes require a more rigorous pretransplant evaluation and closer monitoring after transplantation in order to try to reduce associated complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clinical outcomes in individuals with new onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) and the optimal treatment for this complication are poorly characterized. This study was intended to better define these issues. METHODS Patients who underwent kidney transplantation and did not have diabetes prior to transplantation were included in the study. Clinical outcomes were compared between those who developed NODAT and those who did not. In those who developed NODAT, oral therapy was compared with insulin based therapy. RESULTS A total of 266 kidney transplant recipients were included, of which 71 (27%) developed NODAT during the time of the follow-up. Using Cox multivariate analysis adjusted for age and gender, hazard ratio for overall mortality among patients with NODAT versus those without NODAT was 2.69 (95% CI 1.04-7.01). Among patients who developed NODAT, 29 patients (40%) were treated with an insulin-based regimen. At the end of follow-up, no difference was found in mean HbA1c, and therapy regimen was not associated with greater mortality. CONCLUSIONS New onset diabetes in kidney transplanted patients is associated with increased mortality compared with kidney transplanted patients without NODAT.

[PMID: 28186285 DOI: 10.1093/ejcts/ezw314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2016] [Revised: 07/09/2016] [Accepted: 07/18/2016] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We attempted to determine if transplants of lungs from diabetic donors (DDs) is associated with increased mortality of recipients in the modern era of the lung allocation score (LAS). METHODS The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database was queried for all adult lung transplant recipients from 2006 to 2014. Patients receiving a lung from a DD were compared to those receiving a transplant from a non-DD. Multivariate Cox regression analysis using variables associated with mortality was used to examine survival. RESULTS A total of 13 159 adult lung transplants were performed between January 2006 and June 2014: 4278 (32.5%) were single-lung transplants (SLT) and 8881 (67.5%) were double-lung transplants (DLT). The log-rank test demonstrated a lower median survival in the DD group (5.6 vs 5.0 years, P = 0.003). We performed additional analysis by dividing this initial cohort into two cohorts by transplant type. On multivariate analysis, receiving an SLT from a DD was associated with increased mortality (HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.07–1.54, P = 0.011). Interestingly, multivariate analysis demonstrated no difference in mortality rates for patients receiving a DLT from a DD (HR 1.12, 95% CI 0.97–1.30, P = 0.14). CONCLUSIONS DLT with DDs can be performed safely without increased mortality, but SLT using DDs results in worse survival and post-transplant outcomes. Preference should be given to DLT when using lungs from donors with diabetes.

Am J Transplant 2017; 17:2705-2711. [PMID: 28508451 DOI: 10.1111/ajt.14352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2016] [Revised: 03/31/2017] [Accepted: 05/02/2017] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Diastolic dysfunction may influence perioperative outcome, early graft function, and long-term survival. We compared the outcomes of double lung transplantation (DLTx) for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with preoperative left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction with the outcomes of patients without diastolic dysfunction. Of 116 consecutive patients with PAH (who underwent transplantation between January 1995 and December 2013), 44 met our inclusion and exclusion criteria. Fourteen (31.8%) patients with diastolic dysfunction pretransplantation had a higher body mass index (29 [IQR 21.5-32.6] vs 22.4 [IQR 19.9-25.3] kg/m2 ) and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (54.6 ± 10 mmHg vs 47 ± 11.3 mmHg) and right atrial pressure (16.5 ± 5.2 mmHg vs 10.6 ± 5.2 mmHg). The patients received extracorporeal life support more frequently (33% vs 7% [p = 0.02]), had worse APACHE II scores (21.7 ± 7.4 vs 15.3 ± 5.3 [p = 0.02]), and a trend toward worse ventilator-free days (2.5 [IQR 6.5-32.5] vs 17 [IQR 3-23] [p = 0.08]). There was no effect on development of primary graft dysfunction or intensive care unit/hospital survival. One-year survival was worse (hazard ratio [HR] 4.45, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3-22, p = 0.02). Diastolic dysfunction was the only variable that correlated with overall survival (HR 5.4, 95% CI 1.3-22, p = 0.02). Diastolic dysfunction leads to early postoperative morbidity and worse survival in patients with PAH after DLTx.

Abstract
Background Most studies about the risk factors of 1-year mortality after lung transplantation were performed on non-Asians. This study aimed to evaluate the perioperative factors related to the 1-year mortality after lung transplantation in Korea. Methods Sixty-eight consecutive patients who underwent lung transplantation without preoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment at 1 tertiary hospital in South Korea between October 24, 2012, and October 16, 2015, were analyzed retrospectively. Results Forty-four patients (64.7%) lived for >1 year after lung transplantation. The median age of all patients was 55 years (range, 16-75 years), and men accounted for 57.4%. The major cause of lung transplantation was idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (48.5%); the other causes were interstitial lung disease related to connective tissue disease (17.6%) and bronchiolitis obliterans after stem cell transplantation (14.7%). In univariate analysis, higher median age (52 vs. 61.5 years, P<0.001), male sex (45.5% vs. 79.2%, P=0.007), lower preoperative albumin level (<3 g/dL) (22.7% vs. 45.8%, P=0.049), need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) after surgery (4.5% vs. 37.5%, P=0.001), and postoperative delta neutrophil index (DNI) >5.5 higher than the preoperative DNI (22.7% vs. 70.8%, P<0.001) were significantly related to 1-year mortality. After adjustments, old age, postoperative increased DNI, and need for RRT after transplantation were the independent perioperative risk factors for 1-year mortality after lung transplantation. Conclusions Recipients with advanced age should be carefully selected, and patients who need RRT or with increased DNI after transplantation should be managed accordingly.

Impact of Immunosuppression on the Metagenomic Composition of the Intestinal Microbiome: a Systems Biology Approach to Post-Transplant Diabetes. Sci Rep 2017; 7:10277.

Abstract
Solid organ transplantation (SOT) outcomes have continued to improve, although long-term use of immunosuppressants can lead to complications such as diabetes, compromising post-transplant outcomes. In this study, we have characterized the intestinal microbiome (IM) composition at the metagenomic level in the context of hyperglycemia induced by immunosuppressants. Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to doses of tacrolimus and sirolimus that reliably induce hyperglycemia and an insulin-resistant state. Subsequent exposure to probiotics resulted in reversal of hyperglycemia. 16S rRNA and metagenomic sequencing of stool were done to identify the bacterial genes and pathways enriched in immunosuppression. Bacterial diversity was significantly decreased in sirolimus-treated rats, with 9 taxa significantly less present in both immunosuppression groups: Roseburia, Oscillospira, Mollicutes, Rothia, Micrococcaceae, Actinomycetales and Staphylococcus. Following probiotics, these changes were reversed to baseline. At the metagenomic level, the balance of metabolism was shifted towards the catabolic side with an increase of genes involved in sucrose degradation, similar to diabetes. Conversely, the control rats had greater abundance of anabolic processes and genes involved in starch degradation. Immunosuppression leads to a more catabolic microbial profile, which may influence development of diabetes after SOT. Modulation of the microbiome with probiotics may help in minimizing adverse long-term effects of immunosuppression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been little investigation into the potential interaction of recipient characteristics with the association of pre-transplant renal functions and survival after lung transplantation. In this study we tested the hypothesis that association of pre-transplant renal function and post-transplant mortality varies among recipient subgroups. METHODS We queried the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database for adult patients (≥18 years of age) undergoing lung transplantation between May 2005 and March 2015. The study population (n = 15,540) was split into 3 groups (90 to 150, 60 to 89.9 and 30 to 59.9 ml/min/1.73 m2) based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation) at the time of listing. We utilized multivariable inverse probability weighted Cox proportional hazard models to compare the association of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) groups with mortality among recipient subgroups. RESULTS Overall, there was an independent and graded inverse association between the estimated GFR (eGFR) and mortality, with the hazard of mortality significantly rising with listing eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2. The association between low eGFR and mortality was more consistent and stronger for older (>45 years), non-African-American and non-diabetic patients as well as those with low lung allocation score (LAS <40). Among the diagnosis groups, patients with vascular diseases had the strongest association between low eGFR and poor survival. Sensitivity analyses conducted using an alternate equation to estimate the GFR (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) supported these associations. CONCLUSIONS Prognostic significance of pre-transplant renal functions varies significantly among recipient subgroups. It may be appropriate to develop a customized approach toward assessing and interpreting renal function to determine transplant candidacy.

Abstract
Lung transplantation has evolved into a life-saving treatment with improved quality of life for patients with end-stage respiratory failure unresponsive to other medical or surgical interventions. With improving survival rates, the number of lung transplant recipients with preexisting and posttransplant comorbidities that require attention continues to increase. A partnership between transplant and nontransplant care providers is necessary to deliver comprehensive and optimal care for transplant candidates and recipients. The goals of this partnership include timely referral and assistance with transplant evaluation, optimization of comorbidities and preparation for transplantation, management of common posttransplant medical comorbidities, immunization, screening for malignancy, and counseling for a healthy lifestyle to maximize the likelihood of a good outcome. We aim to provide an outline of the main aspects of the care of candidates for and recipients of lung transplants for nontransplant physicians and other care providers.

Abstract
New-onset diabetes is a frequent complication after solid organ transplantation. Although a number of common factors are associated with the disease, including recipient age, body mass index, hepatitis C infection, and use of immunosuppressive drugs, new-onset diabetes after liver transplantation (NODALT) has the following unique aspects and thus needs to be considered its own entity. First, a liver graft becomes the patient's primary metabolic regulator after liver transplantation, but this would not be the case for kidney or other grafts. The metabolic states, as well as the genetics of the graft, play crucial roles in the development of NODALT. Second, dysfunction of the islets of Langerhans is common in cirrhotic patients and would be exacerbated by immunosuppressive agents, particularly calcineurin inhibitors. On the other hand, minimized immunosuppressive protocols have been widely advocated in liver transplantation because of liver tolerance (immune privilege). Third and last, through the "gut-liver axis," graft function is closely linked to gut microbiota, which is now considered an important metabolic organ and known to independently influence the host's metabolic homeostasis. Liver transplant recipients present with specific gut microbiota that may be prone to trigger metabolic disorders. In this review, we proposed 3 possible sites for the origin of NODALT, which are liver, islets, and gut, to help elucidate the underlying mechanism of NODALT.
