Department of General Thoracic Surgery, Okayama University Hospital (lung transplantation): selected for this site by publication presence, not an official ranking. PubMed holds 37 lung-transplant CLAD, BOS or chronic rejection records from 2016 to 2026 with an author affiliation naming this institution.
As of . Primary source: Department of General Thoracic Surgery, Okayama University Hospital (official page).
Summary
The official page states that the department provides surgical treatment for thoracic diseases including lung transplantation, and lists living-donor and brain-dead-donor lung transplantation among its procedures. Why it is listed: a PubMed affiliation search run on 2026-10-10 found 37 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 "Okayama University". 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.
