Key Words	Lung transplant; Heart transplant; Organ size; Size mismatch; Organ allocation
Core Tip	Recipients for lung transplant and heart transplant are listed with acceptable donor height and weight ranges as surrogates for organ size, respectively. While these measures are important predictors of organ size, they are crude surrogates that fail to incorporate the influence of sex on organ size. Lung size can be better estimated using the predicted total lung capacity (derived from height, sex and age). Similarly, heart size can be better estimated using the predicted heart mass (derived from sex, age, height, and weight). These refined organ sizing-measures perform better than current sizing practice for the prediction of outcomes after transplantation.
