1 Preoperative Performance Status Impacts Perioperative Morbidity and Mortality After Lung Transplantation  Joshua C. Grimm, MD, Vicente Valero, MD, Arman Kilic, MD, Todd C. Crawford, MD, John V. Conte, MD, Christian A. Merlo, MD, MPH, Pali D. Shah, MD, Ashish S.

2 Fig 1 Change in performance status while on waiting list for LTx (dark grey bar = total assistance, light grey bar = partial assistance, white bar = no assistance). A majority of patients (∼80%) who needed no assistance when initially placed on the waiting list progressed to needing either partial or complete assistance by the time of transplant. A majority of patients (∼80%) requiring total assistance at registration for LTx ultimately required total assistance at the time of transplant assistance cohort. (LTx = lung transplantation.)

3 Fig 2 One-year Kaplan-Meier survival estimate stratified by degree of preoperative performance. (KPS = Karnofsky performance status; - - - = KPS < 50; — = KPS 50–70; – • – = KPS > 70.)
