The International Thoracic Organ Transplant Registry of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation: Thirty-sixth adult lung and heart-lung transplantation Report-2019; Focus theme: Donor and recipient size match.

Abstract: This thirty-sixth adult lung and heart–lung transplant report summarizes data from 69,200 adult lung and 4,128 adult heart-lung transplants performed through June 30, 2018 and reported to the International Thoracic Organ Transplant Registry. With each year's report, we now provide more detailed analyses on a particular focus theme important to patient outcomes. Since 2013, these have been donor and recipient age; retransplantation; early graft failure; indication for transplant; allograft ischemic time; and multiorgan transplantation. Although widely accepted as critical to decision making at the time of receipt of an organ donor offer, there is surprisingly little literature outlining current practice and the impact of size (mis-)matching on outcomes. Hence this year's report focuses on an overall theme of donor and recipient size matching. In addition to reporting donor and recipient height and weight difference for all adult lung and heart-lung transplant recipients stratified by transplant type (bilateral or single) and indication, we report historical trends and associations between size match and survival. The Registry's online slide sets include results from additional analyses and complementary information not included in this publication (see https://ishltregistries.org/registries/slides.asp ).

Global strategy for the diagnosis, management, and prevention of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: GOLD executive summary.

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a major public health problem. It is the fourth leading cause of chronic morbidity and mortality in the United States, and is projected to rank fifth in 2020 in burden of disease worldwide, according to a study published by the World Bank/World Health Organization. Yet, COPD remains relatively unknown or ignored by the public as well as public health and government officials. In 1998, in an effort to bring more attention to COPD, its management, and its prevention, a committed group of scientists encouraged the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the World Health Organization to form the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD). Among the important objectives of GOLD are to increase awareness of COPD and to help the millions of people who suffer from this disease and die prematurely of it or its complications. The first step in the GOLD program was to prepare a consensus report, Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prevention of COPD, published in 2001. The present, newly revised document follows the same format as the original consensus report, but has been updated to reflect the many publications on COPD that have appeared. GOLD national leaders, a network of international experts, have initiated investigations of the causes and prevalence of COPD in their countries, and developed innovative approaches for the dissemination and implementation of COPD management guidelines. We appreciate the enormous amount of work the GOLD national leaders have done on behalf of their patients with COPD. Despite the achievements in the 5 years since the GOLD report was originally published, considerable additional work is ahead of us if we are to control this major public health problem. The GOLD initiative will continue to bring COPD to the attention of governments, public health officials, health care workers, and the general public, but a concerted effort by all involved in health care will be necessary.
