Outcomes of Donor-Recipient Gender Mismatched Lung Transplantation in the Eurotransplant Area
2019
Purpose An effect of donor-recipient gender mismatching on long-term survival outcomes following organ transplantation has been postulated but remains controversial. We aimed to investigate the influence of gender mismatches on long-term survival after lung transplantation in the Eurotransplant area.
