Popis: Purpose Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is the main cause of mortality during the first month and the second one within the first year after lung transplant (LT) Statins, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase inhibitors, have shown to have immunomodulatory and antiinflamatory effects unrelated to their cholesterol-lowering function. We hypothesized that recipient's preoperative statin therapy is associated with decreased incidence of PGD after LT. Methods Multicenter retrospective analysis of all consecutive adult LTs performed in 5 university transplant centers between 2015 and 2017. Combined multiple organ transplantation and lung retransplant recipients were excluded from the analysis. Comparison between groups according to recipient previous use of statins(E+/E-)) was performed. Factors associated with the development of PGD and its severity were analyzed using Chisquare and U-Mann Whitney Test. Logistic regression model was built including those variables with p≤0.1 in the univariate analysis. Significance level p Results A total of 474 adult LT recipients were reviewed, 110 of them (E+=23%) were on statins treatment (SG). LT recipients in the statin group were older (60±7 vs 53±12; p Conclusion Statin use may contribute to lessen the severity of PGD. Prospective and multicentric studies with larger samples are needed to confirm such results.
