Summary
The official page states that the first lung transplant in Switzerland was performed at Zurich University Hospital in November 1992 and that the 750th lung transplant there was performed in January 2026. Why it is listed: a PubMed affiliation search run on 2026-10-10 found 53 records for 2016 to 2026 and 30 for 2021 to 2026 that match the CLAD, BOS or chronic rejection lung transplant query and have at least one author affiliation matching "Zurich". 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.
