Evidence level: bibliometric count (PubMed affiliation search); official programme page
Lung Transplant Program, Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital: selected for this site by publication presence, not an official ranking. PubMed holds 90 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, Barnes-Jewish Hospital (official page).
Summary
The official page states that the program began in 1988, that it is one of the oldest and most experienced in the world, and that specialists have performed more than 1,800 adult lung transplants since then. The page also states that Washington University physician partners conduct basic, translational and clinical research. Why it is listed: a PubMed affiliation search run on 2026-10-10 found 90 records for 2016 to 2026 and 48 for 2021 to 2026 that match the CLAD, BOS or chronic rejection lung transplant query and have at least one author affiliation matching "Washington University St Louis". 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.

- 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)
