Backgrounds Improving quality of life (QOL) is one the main aims lung transplantation (LTx). There a need to identify those who have poor early. However, research addressing inter individual variability among them lacking. This study group patterns in transplant recipients and examine predictors associated with subgroups. Methods In total, 173 were recruited from hospital Guangdong Province between September 2022 August 2023. They assessed using Lung Transplant Quality Life scale (LT-QOL), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), Positive Negative Affect (PANAS). Latent profile analysis was used QOL subtypes, logistic regression associations latent profiles sociodemographic psychosocial characteristics. Results Two distinct identified: “low HRQOL” [ N = 53 (30.94%)] “high 120 (69.06%)]. Single recipients, patients reported post-transplant infection, high levels negative emotion or low mindfulness optimism significantly correlated subgroup. Conclusion Using domains LT-QOL scale, two identified recipients. Our findings highlighted that targeted intervention should be developed based on characteristics each class, timely attention must paid undergone single transplantation, had readmission due exhibit optimism, emotions.
