| Popis: | s S173 FEV1 decline. Survival from transplant adjusted for age and baseline CLAD was better in those followed by Telehealth (HR= 0.25, 95% CI 0.10-0.58, p= 0.001) (Figure 1). Conclusion: Telehealth follow-up is acceptable to lung transplant recipients and care providers. Differences in survival between groups likely reflect greater medical complexity in patients declining Telehealth follow up. Telehealth can safely and effectively be used in select stable transplant recipients to decrease financial and time burdens. |
