Freischlag K, et al. - Given the use of lung allocation score (LAS), introduced in 2005, in guiding lung allocation including those receiving liver-lung transplantation (LLT), researchers investigated the impact of the LAS on outcomes in LLT. They identified LLT candidates and recipients from the OPTN/United Network for Organ Sharing STAR file from 1988 to 2016.

Many factors seemed contributing to recently observed improved outcomes.
