Surgeons are apprehensive to use DCD lungs despite similar post-transplant outcomes: A 20-year UNOS retrospective analysis by J. Sam Meyer, MSc, Oliver K. Jawitz, MD, MHS, Yury Peysakhovich, MD, Dan Aravot, MD, Matthew G. Hartwig, MD, MHS, Yaron D. Barac, MD, PhD

“…A multivariable regression analysis showed that the odds of a potential DCD donating lungs is 75% lower than (P < 0.001) that of a potential DBD when the cause of death (COD) is stroke, head trauma (44% lower P = 0.076), CNS tumor (22% lower P = 0.174) or MVA (69% lower P = 0.183). A history of diabetes for over 10 years was strongly associated with non-use for DCD lungs (OR, 0.87, P = 0.71), whereas an under 10-year history was associated with increased use (OR 2.33, P = 0.008, OR 1.07 P = 0.819).Lungs from donors ages 40–49 are more likely to be procured than those <30 or >50 in both DBD and DCD. …”
