Popis: Background: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is an interstitial lung disease that can progress to pulmonary hypertension which increases mortality. The European Society of Cardiology recently reduced the diagnostic criteria for precapillary pulmonary hypertension from mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥25mmHg to ≥20mmHg and pulmonary vascular resistance from ≥3Wu to ≥2Wu. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients.1175 hypersensitivity pneumonitis patients listed for lung transplantation were divided into three groups based on the presence of precapillary pulmonary hypertension; those with pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension based on old criteria, new criteria, and those without precapillary pulmonary hypertension based on either criterion. The individual components of precapillary pulmonary hypertension were also assessed with three mean pulmonary artery pressure groups (≤20mmHg, >20mmHg to 2Wu to
