Lung Transplant Program, Brigham and Women's Hospital (Mass General Brigham): selected for this site by publication presence, not an official ranking. PubMed holds 41 lung-transplant CLAD, BOS or chronic rejection records from 2016 to 2026 with an author affiliation naming this institution.
As of . Primary source: Lung Transplant Program, Mass General Brigham (official page).
Summary
The official Mass General Brigham page states that the program was established in 1990 as the first Medicare-approved lung transplant program in New England and that it is the only adult lung transplant program in New England; this is the programme's own statement. The page is a system page; the Brigham-specific address opened to a general hospital page and not to a lung transplant page. Why it is listed: a PubMed affiliation search run on 2026-10-10 found 41 records for 2016 to 2026 and 26 for 2021 to 2026 that match the CLAD, BOS or chronic rejection lung transplant query and have at least one author affiliation matching "Brigham and Womens". This is a selection by publication presence, not an official ranking, and it does not measure quality, outcomes or superiority. Counts include any record with one author from the institution, not only first or last authors, and affiliation matching is approximate; the exact queries are in docs/CENTRE-SELECTION.md. No paper already in this site has a PubMed author affiliation naming this institution, so no paper is linked.

Known gaps in this record
- funding sources
- founding year and transplant volumes beyond what the official page states (page statements are not verified)
- named CLAD investigators
- a ranking: none exists here, this is a selection by publication presence only
- affiliation counting is approximate (institution names vary, a record counts once if any author matches)
- a Brigham-specific lung transplant page: the address opened to a general hospital page; the Mass General Brigham system page is used (Mass General Hospital, counted separately, has 21 records for 2016-2026)
- key paper already in this site: none has a matching PubMed affiliation
