Reliability of diagnostic criteria for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after lung transplantation: A survey

Our survey identified potential limitations with the current criteria for diagnosing BOS. With recognition of the various CLAD phenotypes, further refinements of these diagnostic criteria will allow for an improved ability to identify and characterize patients who develop or are at risk for BOS, prognosticate outcomes, and, most importantly, marshal in future strategies directed at treating and preventing chronic lung dysfunction after lung transplantation.
