Higher lung allocation scores indicate the patient is more likely to benefit from a lung transplant. The post-transplant survival measure is one-year survival after transplantation of the lungs . Factors used to predict it include FVC , ventilator use, age, creatinine , NYHA class and diagnosis. [ 3 ]
A 2019 cohort study of nearly 10,000 lung transplant recipients in the US demonstrated significantly improved long-term survival using sirolimus + tacrolimus (median survival 8.9 years) instead of mycophenolate mofetil + tacrolimus (median survival 7.1 years) for immunosuppressive therapy starting at one year after transplant.
Although controversial, the most recent data suggest that bilateral lung transplantation is superior to single lung transplantation in patients with IPF. [57] Five-year survival rates after lung transplantation in IPF are estimated at between 50 and 56%. [3] [58] [59]

The success rate of heart–lung transplants has improved significantly in recent years. The British National Health Service states that the survival rate is now around 85%, one year after the transplant was performed. [1] In 2004, there were only 39 heart–lung transplants performed in the entire United States and only 75 worldwide.
With new therapies, survival rates are increasing. For 2,635 patients enrolled in The Registry to Evaluate Early and Long-term Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Disease Management (REVEAL Registry) from March 2006 to December 2009, 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year survival rates were 85%, 68%, 57%, and 49%, respectively. For patients with idiopathic ...
