Proposal to Revise the Lung Allocation Score (LAS) System
andSalient Activities of the Thoracic
Organ Transplantation Committee
![Page 2: OPTN Proposal to Revise the Lung Allocation Score (LAS) System and Salient Activities of the Thoracic Organ Transplantation Committee.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f445503460f94c654ca/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
OPTN
Current LAS Policy
Prioritizes candidates who are at least 12 years of age for allocation of deceased donor lung offers
Categorizes candidates into diagnosis groups: A, B, C, and D

OPTN
Why Modify the Current LAS Policy?
Does not reflect the current waiting list population
Has not been revised thoroughly since its implementation in 2005
![Page 4: OPTN Proposal to Revise the Lung Allocation Score (LAS) System and Salient Activities of the Thoracic Organ Transplantation Committee.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f445503460f94c654ca/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
OPTN
Goals in Modifying LAS System Address the disease severity of candidates
by modifying the covariates in the system’s statistical models
Updating the covariates’ coefficients Update the baseline survival rates to reflect
the current waiting list and transplant population
Including the LAS equation, baseline survival rates, and other rules that contribute to a candidate’s LAS in policy

Analytical Modeling
SRTR performed analyses to update the LAS system
SRTR validated its analyses that resulted in the revised LAS system

Revised LAS Policy Would…
Likely Provide benefit to some candidates in Group B (pulmonary hypertension) by:• Increasing their Lung Allocation Scores• Improving their allocation rankings• Better addressing the increase in waiting
list mortality associated with acute worsening of candidates with pulmonary hypertension

Change in LAS (Revised LAS – Current LAS) by Diagnosis Group for Candidates
on the Waitlist on January 1, 2010℠
![Page 9: OPTN Proposal to Revise the Lung Allocation Score (LAS) System and Salient Activities of the Thoracic Organ Transplantation Committee.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f445503460f94c654ca/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
OPTN
Revised LAS Policy Would…
Likely increase the allocation rankings for candidates in all diagnosis groups who have:• Poor functional statuses;• Low cardiac indices;• High creatinine values;• High central venous pressures; and• Need for ventilation support

OPTN
Inclusion of the LAS System’s Components that Are Rules but Are Not
in Policy Today
Equation to calculate the LAS Baseline survival rates Coefficient for each covariate in the model Complete listing of diseases in each group Identification of values that will be
substituted for covariate data that are missing or expired

Data Collection Required by Policy Modification
Entry of data for the following three new covariates for LAS calculation purposes: • Bilirubin (new to Waitlist℠)• Cardiac index (already in Waitlist )℠• Central venous pressure (already in
Waitlist ) ℠
