Posttransplant, sarcoidosis recipients experienced higher early morbidity and worse unadjusted short\u2010term survival; however, long\u2010term survival exceeded that of COPD and IPF recipients. After adjusting for age, transplant type, and sub\u2010era (early vs late LAS), sarcoidosis was associated with similar posttransplant mortality to that of IPF and COPD. Among patients with sarcoidosis, elevated serum creatinine and prior cardiac surgery were risk factors for both short\u2010 and long\u2010term posttransplant mortality. Poor functional status and pretransplant diabetes were also associated with increased posttransplant mortality in this population.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite increased perioperative morbidity, lung transplant recipients with sarcoidosis had long\u2010term survival comparable to that of COPD and IPF recipients.
