Each year since 2012, the number of lung transplants has increased, reflecting an increase in the number of donors, improved use of recovered organs, and more candidates being listed for transplant. However, the need for organs continues to outpace available donors. Despite an increase of 126 donors in 2017, 1360 candidates remained on the waiting list at the end of the year, and 326 patients died or became too sick to undergo transplant. Approximately 14,000 individuals were living with a lung transplant in 2017; 9492 were aged 50 years or older, 4075 were aged 18-49 years, and 408 were aged younger than 18 years.
自 2012 年以来，每年的肺移植数量都在增加，这反映出供体数量的增加、回收器官的使用得到改善以及更多的候选者被列入移植名单。然而，器官的需求仍然超过了可供使用的供体。尽管 2017 年供体增加了 126 人，但年底仍有 1360 名候选者在等待名单上，326 名患者死亡或病情恶化，无法进行移植。2017 年约有 14000 人接受肺移植，其中 9492 人年龄在 50 岁或以上，4075 人年龄在 18-49 岁之间，408 人年龄在 18 岁以下。
