Abstract
Canadian lung transplant centers currently utilize a Status ranking (1-stable or 2-deteriorating) to prioritize waitlisted patients for lung transplantation. Status is determined by a multidisciplinary transplant team, based on clinical judgement and available diagnostic information. The Lung Allocation Score (LAS) is a composite score derived from clinical parameters associated with both waitlist and post-transplant survival. Since its introduction in the United States in 2005, there has been a significant reduction in waitlist mortality.
