UPMC Lung Transplant Program
Evidence level: bibliometric count (PubMed affiliation search); official programme page
UPMC Lung Transplant Program: selected for this site by publication presence, not an official ranking. PubMed holds 60 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 Services at UPMC (official page).
Summary
The official page states that since the program began in 1982 it has performed more than 2,500 lung and heart-lung transplants, and that it evaluates high-risk patients, including those declined at other centres. Why it is listed: a PubMed affiliation search run on 2026-10-10 found 60 records for 2016 to 2026 and 38 for 2021 to 2026 that match the CLAD, BOS or chronic rejection lung transplant query and have at least one author affiliation matching "Pittsburgh/UPMC". 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.

- 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)
