Abstract Introduction Frailty at listing for lung transplant has been associated with waitlist and post‐transplant mortality. trajectories following transplant, however, have less well characterized, including whether recipient frailty improves. The objective of this study was to identify prevalence risk factors discharge evaluate changes in frail recipients enrolled an outpatient physical therapy program. Methods This a single‐center prospective cohort recipients. Enrollees completed short...
We evaluated the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a mHealth-supported physical rehabilitation intervention to treat frailty in pilot study 18 lung transplant recipients. Frail recipients were defined by short performance battery (SPPB score ≤7). The primary modality was Aidcube, customizable mHealth platform. Our aims included tolerability, acceptability use platform, secondary outcomes changes SPPB scores activity, disability measured using Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) Lung...
Abstract Objective Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can result in irreversible lung damage, with some individuals requiring transplantation. The purpose of this case series is to describe the initial experience rehabilitation and functional outcomes 9 patients receiving a transplant for COVID-19. Methods Nine individuals, ranging age from 37 68 years, received bilateral orthotopic transplantation (BOLT) COVID-19 between December 2020 July 2021. Rehabilitation was provided before...

Methods This administrative set heart vascular intensive care unit, 35-bed critical unit that provides services patients with various complex...
Location independence for organizations is desirable if they wish to achieve a given spatial distribution in regional development plan. An organization's interaction with its environment forms the basis of daily work and takes form ‘information links’ composed fundamental indivisible blocks called ‘conversations’. To location it necessary develop maintain interactions independent their location. Information technology systems are able reduce restrictions by providing distant parties...
