Factors Predicting Success in Lung Transplant Recipients Who Have Undergone Intensive Post-operative Rehabilitation

Completed

• Conditions: Lung Transplant

• Registration Number: NCT03299504
• Lead Sponsor: Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital

Brief Summary

This is a retrospective review of the COLTT program outcomes and factors that predict recovery of functional status after lung transplantation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time to reach program goals (days)	Through study completion, an average of 4 weeks	The number of days in the COLTT program required to reach program goals ( see secondary outcomes measures)
