The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation podcast airs each month and features the JHLT Digital Media Editors in round table talks with the Journal's contributors.
Today, JHLT: The Podcast discusses the recent ISHLT consensus document "Baseline Lung Allograft Dysfunction: Definition, Timing, and Implications for Outcomes—An ISHLT Consensus Document."
Now available online at JHLT—and a helpful companion perspective piece from the authors appears in the print October issue of JHLT.
Today's guests are co-leads on the document, Jens Gottlieb, MD, of Hannover Medical School and Kieran Halloran, MD, MSc, of the University of Alberta.
They discuss:
Why rapid increases in usage of "BLAD" in the literature meant it was time for a formal definition
Major considerations and areas of debate during the writing process
How clinicians should think about patients meeting the criteria for BLAD and how the evaluation of underlying etiologies took place
Interpreting BLAD's potential relationship to CLAD
