“…procedure (40%). The authors consider this result to be comparable with other countries, as Krivchenia et al estimated that 5-year salaried work was possible for 48% of the CF patients undergoing transplantation [12]. Pre-transplant employment seems to be one of the most important factors when it comes to returning to work after lung transplantation [5,7].…”

Objectives: Lung transplantation not only saves a patient's life but also creates the opportunity for becoming more self-reliant and getting back to work. The aim of this single center study was to assess the prospects of employment, as well as its influence on the quality of life and physical activity, of the lung transplant recipients of the Silesian Center for Heart Diseases in Zabrze, Poland. Material and Methods: A retrospective study covered 67 lung transplant recipients of the Silesian Center of Heart Diseases. Only patients with ≥ 6-month follow-up were included. All of the patients gave their written consent to be included in the study before filling out the questionnaire containing questions about employment, income, education and how work affected their quality of life before and after lung transplantation. A physical capability assessment was performed by climbing flights of stairs and by means of a 6-min walk test, and spirometry parameters were also measured. Results: Twenty of the patients included in the study (31.7%) were employed after lung transplantation, 63.2% of whom worked full-time. Profession was changed by 2 patients (14.3%). The patients diagnosed with cystic fibrosis were found to have the highest chance of finding employment after lung transplantation. The statistical analysis revealed that the employed patients were able to cover longer distances during the 6-min walk test (556 m, on average) than the unemployed ones (494 m, on average). Conclusions: One in 3 patients finds employment after lung transplantation. Work improves the quality of life of the majority of lung transplant recipients. The patients who are employed are also in a better physical condition, and they are more self-reliant in comparison to those who remain unemployed. Lung transplant recipients with cystic fibrosis are most likely to find employment, and so are patients with higher education. Int J Occup

“…To complete missing data on covariates for the multivariable analysis, multiple imputation by chained regression was used, with the imputation model including employment status and all covariates listed above. Ten imputations were created, and model estimates were combined across imputations as previously described . Analyses were performed in Stata 13.1/IC (StataCorp, LP, College Station, TX, USA).…”

“…The imputation models included all covariates listed above, in addition to the outcome of HTx (posttransplant employment, mortality before return to work, or censoring) and duration of follow‐up until employment, mortality prior to employment, or censoring. The multivariable model was estimated separately for each imputed data set, and estimates were combined across imputations as previously described . Data analysis was performed in Stata/IC 13.1 (College Station, TX), with P < .05 considered statistically significant.…”
