Globally, thousands of patients undergo lung transplantation owing to end-stage lung disease each year. As lung transplantation evolves, recommendations and indications are constantly being updated. In 2021, the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation published a new consensus document for selecting candidates for lung transplantation. However, it is still difficult to determine appropriate candidates for lung transplantation among patients with complex medical conditions and various diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze each patient's overall situation and medical condition from various perspectives, and ongoing efforts to optimize the analysis will be necessary. The purpose of this study is to review the extant literature and discuss recent updates.
在全球范围内，每年都有成千上万的患者因终末期肺病接受肺移植。随着肺移植技术的不断发展，相关推荐和适应症也在持续更新。2021年，国际心肺移植学会发布了一份关于选择肺移植候选者的新共识文件。然而，在患有复杂医疗状况和多种疾病的患者中，确定合适的肺移植候选者仍然困难。因此，有必要从多个角度分析每位患者的整体情况和医疗状况，并且需要持续努力优化分析。本研究的目的是回顾现有文献并讨论近期的更新情况。
