Lung transplantation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a systematic review of the literature

Conclusions: IPF accounts for the largest proportion of patients awaiting lung transplants, and IPF is associated with higher wait-list and post-transplant survival vs. other diagnoses.

Data on post-transplant morbidity outcomes are sparse.
