Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: The percentage of grade 3 primary graft dysfunction in bilateral and single lung transplants was 32% and 37% at 0 hours (T0), 9% and 33% at 12 hours (T12), 7% and 26% at 24 hours (T24), and 9% and 18% at 72 hours (T72), respectively. The prevalence of the grade 3 primary graft dysfunction (T24) was significantly different between those undergoing bilateral lung transplantation and those undergoing single lung transplantation (P = .02). The primary graft dysfunction grade (T0) significantly correlated with the duration of intubation in both bilateral (r = 0.35, P < .0001) and single (r = 0.42, P = .001) lung transplantation and length of intensive care unit stay in both bilateral (r = 0.31, P = .0002) and single (r = 0.33, P = .006) lung transplantation. These differences were validated by the subgroup analysis. CONCLUSIONS:
