Evidence level: bibliometric count (PubMed affiliation search); official programme page
Penn Medicine Lung Transplant Program (Penn Transplant Institute): selected for this site by publication presence, not an official ranking. PubMed holds 55 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, Penn Medicine (official page).
Summary
The official page states that the team has helped thousands of people through lung transplantation, that its doctors are also researchers working to improve lung transplantation, and that it helped pioneer ex vivo lung perfusion. Why it is listed: a PubMed affiliation search run on 2026-10-10 found 55 records for 2016 to 2026 and 36 for 2021 to 2026 that match the CLAD, BOS or chronic rejection lung transplant query and have at least one author affiliation matching "Penn". 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. Papers already in this site whose PubMed record lists an author affiliation naming this institution are linked below; this does not show that the programme itself produced the work.
