Lung Transplantation in the Older Adult
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The first long-term, successful, human-isolated lung transplant was performed in 1983 by the Toronto Lung Transplant Group. Two and a half decades have passed since this landmark procedure and almost 19,000 lung transplants have been performed. At present, lung transplantation is the preferred treatment option for a variety of end-stage pulmonary diseases. Remarkable progress has occurred through refinement in technique and improved understanding of transplant immunology and microbiology. Elderly lung transplant recipients usually undergo transplantation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and face unique challenges. It is increasingly evident that ‘biologic age’ is more important than actual recipient age. Postoperative immunosuppression regimens and education require greater individualization in elderly adults owing to the increased risk for infection and greater risk involved with complications. A multidiscipliniary approach to lung transplantation, especially in the older adult, requires an in-depth knowledge of transplant-related issues, an awareness of geriatric issues, and access to decision and educational support.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
