Duke Lung Transplant Program
Evidence level: bibliometric count (PubMed affiliation search); official programme page
Duke Lung Transplant Program: selected for this site by publication presence, not an official ranking. PubMed holds 86 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 Program, Duke Health (official page).
Summary
The official page states that Duke surgeons have performed more than 2,500 lung transplants since the program started in 1992, and describes it as the largest program in the United States by number of transplants performed; this is the programme's own statement and was not verified. Why it is listed: a PubMed affiliation search run on 2026-10-10 found 86 records for 2016 to 2026 and 58 for 2021 to 2026 that match the CLAD, BOS or chronic rejection lung transplant query and have at least one author affiliation matching "Duke University". 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.

Known gaps in this record
- funding sources
- 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)
