Implication

Randomized trial evaluates incidence and outcomes of fungal infections in lung transplant recipients, suggesting improved antifungal strategies are needed.

Key Points

The aim is to characterize the incidence and outcomes of fungal infections in lung-transplant recipients using a multicenter dataset.
Data were obtained from the TriNetX Global Collaborative Network, including 12,857 adult lung-transplant recipients.
Post-transplant fungal infections were identified using ICD-10 codes for various pathogens.
Statistical analysis was performed on incidence, prevalence, and outcomes of fungal infections.
The overall incidence of post-transplant fungal infections was 3%, increasing to 7% from 2015-2024.
The most common pathogens were Candida spp. (4.8%) and Aspergillus spp. (2.9%).
The all-cause mortality at 5 years post-transplant was 22.1%, with a rejection rate of 22.5%.
