The cost of end-of-life hospitalizations for lung disease varies widely, averaging $29,981 per patient; this raises the question of whether lung transplantation could avert acute care costs for some patients. @CarliLehrMDPhD @DaltonJarrod @MValapour brnw.ch/21wH5mS

Is there a better way to capture waitlist mortality risk for #LungTx patients? Using clinically-interpretable dimensions leads to improved phenotyping and better understanding of mortality risk. @CarliLehrMDPhD @MValapour @DaltonJarrod 🔗jhltonline.org/article/S1053…
