3 Figure 2 Comparing recipients with normal 25(OH)D and deficient 25(OH)D in the near-transplant period. (A) Comparison of episodes of acute cellular rejection in the first year after lung transplantation. (B) Mean cumulative acute rejection (CAR) scores in the first year after transplant. (C) Mean episodes of acute cellular rejection of Grade A2 to A4 in the first year after transplant. (D) Mean episodes of infection in the first year after transplant.

(B) Comparison of those with normal 25(OH)D in the first year after transplant to those who remained persistently 25(OH)D-deficient.
