cord-004146-x2jyu0z3	Ko, Ryoung-Eun	Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to lung transplantation: analysis of Korean organ transplantation registry (KOTRY) data	2020-01-13		.txt	text/plain	2917	145	46	The objective of this study was to evaluate the mortality and long-term post transplantation outcomes of patients undergoing lung transplantation after bridging with ECMO by comparing them with non-bridge-ECMO patients through an analysis of Korean Organ Transplantation Registry (KOTRY) data. KOTRY also includes data about post-transplantation results including immediate complications, need for organ support, prevalence of primary graft dysfunction, serial pulmonary function, and outcomes such as the length of hospital stay, in-hospital and 6-month mortality, function status at discharge, and comorbidities. In this multicenter prospective observational study, we found that there were no significant differences in immediate postoperative complications, development and severity of PGD, functional status at discharge, longterm survival, or lung function in patients who received bridging with ECMO compared with the control group, despite longer operation time, longer ICU stay, and longer hospitalization after lung transplantation in the former group.	./cache/cord-004146-x2jyu0z3.txt	./txt/cord-004146-x2jyu0z3.txt
