Eighteen patients have been referred for lung transplantations from Northern Ireland in 1986-1990. Fourteen were accepted but only four achieved transplantation. These rates are lower than for comparable regions in the North of England. The lung donation rate from Northern Ireland during the same period was similar to that for the United Kingdom as a whole. The low referral and transplant rates for Northern Ireland require reassessment of the procedures involved.
1986年至1990年间,有18名患者从北爱尔兰被转诊进行肺移植。其中14人被接受,但只有4人成功接受了移植手术。这些比率低于英格兰北部的类似地区。同期北爱尔兰的肺捐赠率与英国整体水平相似。北爱尔兰较低的转诊率和移植率需要对相关程序进行重新评估。
