| Type of transplant | No. | Mean (SE) | Underlying condition | No. | Mean (SE) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SLTx | 42 | 7.3 (0.67) | Obstructive | 22 | 7.3 (0.91) |
| BSLTx | 38 | 8.0 (1.23) | ILD | 22 | 7.1 (1.00) |
| HLTx | 24 | 5.6 (0.67) | Suppurative | 38 | 7.0 (0.66) |
| PVD | 22 | 5.8 (0.71) | |||
| Total | 104 | 6.8 (0.55) | Total | 104 | 6.8 (0.55) |

SLTx = single lung transplant; BSLTx = bilateral sequential lung transplant; HLTx = heart-lung transplant; obstructive = obstructive lung disease; ILD = interstitial lung disease; suppurative = suppurative lung disease; PVD = pulmonary vascular disease (primary pulmonary hypertension and Eisenmenger’s syndrome).
