Background: Development of de novo donor specific anti-HLA antibodies (dnDSA)
is associated with poor long-term graft survival. This study compared the incidence,
risk factors, and outcomes of dnDSA in renal and lung transplant populations.
Methods: At a single center, 608 renal transplant recipients from 7/2007–7/2011 and
437 lung transplant recipients from 1/2009-7/2013, were monitored for dnDSA at
>5 time-points within the first year post-transplant and every 6 months thereafter.
215 transplants were excluded because of pre-transplant DSA, 0-HLA mismatch,
or follow-up < 1 month.
Results: With median follow-ups of 31 and 16 months respectively, 24% (120/503) of
renal vs. 23% (76/327) of lung transplant recipients developed dnDSA (p=NS). Class
II dnDSA occurred in 66% of renal vs. 48% of lung recipients (p=NS) and dnDSA
was persistent ( ≥2 positive time points) in 65% of renal vs. 67% of lung recipients
(p=NS). The median time to onset of dnDSA was 6 months and 4 months respectively
for renal and lung recipients. Using multivariate analysis, independent risk factors
for dnDSA in renal recipients were African American race (OR: 2.37, p<0.01),
increasing HLA mismatch (OR:1.19,p<0.01), and a kidney pancreas transplant
(OR:2.44, p=0.02). Similarly, in lung recipients, risk factors were non-Caucasian
race (OR:2.11, p=0.01), HLA-DQ mismatch (OR:2.15, p=0.01), and increased lung
allocation score (OR:1.18, p=0.05). With longer follow-up in renal recipients, there
was an increased rate of acute rejection (35 vs. 10%, p<0.01) and graft loss (11 vs.
2%, p<0.01) in those with dnDSA compared to those without dnDSA. In the lung
transplant cohort, the rate of acute rejection (36 vs. 39%, p=ns) and graft loss (5 vs.
5%) was equivalent between the dnDSA and no DSA groups respectively.
Conclusions: The incidence, time of onset, type, and persistence of dnDSA was
equivalent between renal and lung transplant recipients. Additionally, independent
risk factors for development of dnDSA were similar between groups. The detrimental
impact of dnDSA noted in the renal recipients was not observed during the shorter
follow-up period of the lung recipients.

Purpose: The implementation of lung allocation score (LAS) in 2005 has not impacted
one-year survival, though post one year survival has not been assessed.
Methods: The survival of all lung transplants available in the Scientific Registry of
Transplant Recipients between 1/1, 1995 and 6/1, 2010 was assessed. We compared
three cohorts: 2005-10 (post LAS); 2001-05 (pre LAS); and 1995-2000 (historical
control). Overall survival rates and one-year conditional survival were compared
by Kaplan-Meier statistics and marginal hazard ratios for death.
Results: 17,146 adults received lung transplant during this time period. The patients
in post LAS cohort were older, sicker, and more likely to have pulmonary fibrosis.

Restrictive Lung Diseases 1133 (22%) 1411 (30%) 3778 (51%)
The one-year survival was similar between pre- and post-LAS cohorts (82.1% vs
83.1%); and significantly better than the historical control (75%).
The one-year conditional survival of post-LAS cohort was worse than pre-LAS
(MHR 1.12, IQR 1.02-1.23) cohort and similar to historic control (MHR 0.98,
IQR 0.90-1.08)
Conclusion:Even though implementation of LAS has not affected one-year survival
after lung transplantation, the decreased one-year conditional survival suggests a
potential negative long-term effect of the LAS.

Purpose. Which procedure is better when comparing single lung versus double
lung transplantation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)? Should
recipient age impact decisions on transplant type? Will there be a survival difference
