Core Tip |
Gastroesophageal reflux has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality after lung transplantation. Abnormal objective measures of reflux on pre-transplant multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH have also been associated with early allograft injury, early rehospitalization and development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome and chronic lung allograft dysfunction. However, the relationship between pre-transplant reflux severity and pulmonary function decline after lung transplant remains unclear. Out study demonstrated that abnormal acid exposure time on pre-transplant reflux testing was associated with significant pulmonary function decline defined as ≥ 20% decrease in post-transplant baseline forced expiratory volume in one second. Patients with acid reflux and forced expiratory volume in one second decline are at high risk of poor lung transplant outcomes and should be aggressively managed. |
