Among 230 lung transplants for WRLD, a majority were performed since 2009; 79 were for coal workers\u2019 pneumoconiosis and 78 were for silicosis. Patients with coal workers\u2019 pneumoconiosis were predominantly from West Virginia (n=31), Kentucky (n=23) or Virginia (n=10). States with the highest number of patients with silicosis transplant were Pennsylvania (n=12) and West Virginia (n=8). Patients with metal pneumoconiosis and asbestosis had the lowest and highest mean age at transplant (48.8 and 62.1 years). Median post-transplant survival was 8.2 years for patients with asbestosis, 6.6 years for coal workers\u2019 pneumoconiosis and 7.8 years for silicosis. Risk of death among patients with silicosis, coal workers\u2019 pneumoconiosis and asbestosis did not differ when compared with patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lung transplants for WRLDs are increasingly common, indicating a need for primary prevention and surveillance in high-risk occupations.
