Abstract
GERD is strongly associated with the development of BOS after primary lung transplantation. Col(V) sensitization is associated with reflux and BOS and may play an intermediary role in the pathogenesis of BOS. Trials using col(V) reactivity to assess the impact of antireflux procedures in patients with lung transplantation and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are warranted.
