    Primary Graft Dysfunction Grade 3 following Pediatric Lung Transplantation is Associated with Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction
    (Elsevier, 2023) Wong, Wai; Johnson, Brandy; Cheng, Pi Chun; Josephson, Maureen B.; Maeda, Katsuhide; Berg, Robert A.; Kawut, Steven M.; Harhay, Michael O.; Goldfarb, Samuel B.; Yehya, Nadir; Himebauch, Adam S.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Background: Severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is associated with the development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), the most common form of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), in adults. However, PGD associations with long-term outcomes following pediatric lung transplantation are unknown. We hypothesized that PGD grade 3 (PGD 3) at 48- or 72-hours would be associated with shorter CLAD-free survival following pediatric lung transplantation. Methods: This was a single center retrospective cohort study of patients ≤ 21 years of age who underwent bilateral lung transplantation between 2005 and 2019 with ≥ 1 year of follow-up. PGD and CLAD were defined by published criteria. We evaluated the association of PGD 3 at 48- or 72-hours with CLAD-free survival by using time-to-event analyses. Results: Fifty-one patients were included (median age 12.7 years; 51% female). The most common transplant indications were cystic fibrosis (29%) and pulmonary hypertension (20%). Seventeen patients (33%) had PGD 3 at either 48- or 72-hours. In unadjusted analysis, PGD 3 was associated with an increased risk of CLAD or mortality (HR 2.10, 95% CI 1.01-4.37, p=0.047). This association remained when adjusting individually for multiple potential confounders. There was evidence of effect modification by sex (interaction p = 0.055) with the association of PGD 3 and shorter CLAD-free survival driven predominantly by males (HR 4.73, 95% CI 1.44-15.6) rather than females (HR 1.23, 95% CI 0.47-3.20). Conclusions: PGD 3 at 48- or 72-hours following pediatric lung transplantation was associated with shorter CLAD-free survival. Sex may be a modifier of this association.

    Tackling Brain and Muscle Dysfunction in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Survivors: NHLBI Workshop Report
    (American Thoracic Society, 2024) Palakshappa, Jessica A.; Batt, Jane A. E.; Bodine, Sue C.; Connolly, Bronwen A.; Doles, Jason; Falvey, Jason R.; Ferrante, Lauren E.; Files, D. Clark; Harhay, Michael O.; Harrell, Kirsten; Hippensteel, Joseph A.; Iwashyna, Theodore J.; Jackson, James C.; Lane-Fall, Meghan B.; Monje, Michelle; Moss, Marc; Needham, Dale M.; Semler, Matthew W.; Lahiri, Shouri; Larsson, Lars; Sevin, Carla M.; Sharshar, Tarek; Singer, Benjamin; Stevens, Troy; Taylor, Stephanie P.; Gomez, Christian R.; Zhou, Guofei; Girard, Timothy D.; Hough, Catherine L.; Anatomy, Cell Biology and Physiology, School of Medicine
    Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with long-term impairments in brain and muscle function that significantly impact the quality of life of those who survive the acute illness. The mechanisms underlying these impairments are not yet well understood, and evidence-based interventions to minimize the burden on patients remain unproved. The NHLBI of the NIH assembled a workshop in April 2023 to review the state of the science regarding ARDS-associated brain and muscle dysfunction, to identify gaps in current knowledge, and to determine priorities for future investigation. The workshop included presentations by scientific leaders across the translational science spectrum and was open to the public as well as the scientific community. This report describes the themes discussed at the workshop as well as recommendations to advance the field toward the goal of improving the health and well-being of ARDS survivors.
