Popis: BACKGROUND Bronchial stenosis is a known complication of lung transplantation, but there are limited data regarding whether transplant recipients with bronchial stenosis develop more infectious complications than those without bronchial stenosis. METHODS We conducted a retrospective single-center observational cohort study between January 1, 2011 and September 29, 2016 of 35 lung transplant recipients diagnosed with bronchial stenosis and a random sample of 35 lung transplant recipients without bronchial stenosis. Data collected included donor/recipient demographic and anatomic information, respiratory cultures, episodes of respiratory infections diagnosed using CDC-NNIS criteria, hospitalizations, and 1-year all-cause mortality. Patients were followed up to 1 year after transplant. RESULTS Bronchial stenosis occurred at a median of 54 days post-transplant (range 5-365 days). Bronchial stenosis patients spent more time in the hospital (87.4 vs 46.8 days, P = 0.011) and had more total hospitalizations (4.54 vs 2.37, P
