Popis: BACKGROUND Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) limits long-term survival after lung transplantation. Of the two subtypes, restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS) is characterized by a larger lung volume decrease and worse prognosis than bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). We used computed tomography (CT) volumetry to classify CLAD subtypes and determined their clinical impact. METHODS Adult primary lung transplants performed 2003-2015 (n = 167) were retrospectively evaluated for CLAD and subclassified with CT volumetry. Lung volume decrease of
