    Abstract Objective: There is a shortage of donor lungs relative to need, but overall donor organ utilization remains low. The most common reason for refusal is organ quality, but the standards applied to selection vary. In this study we sought to characterize differences in lung utilization according to quality across several clinically distinct recipient pools.
    Methods: Data on donor lungs recovered (April 2006 to September 2019) were extracted from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients database. Organs were classified as ideal, standard, or extended quality according to their poorest metric among selected parameters. Subanalyses were performed on the basis of procedure type, age, lung allocation score, era, and alternative definitions of extended quality. Recipient traits and survival according to organ quality were assessed.
    Results: Of 156,022 lungs analyzed during the study period, 25,777 (16.5%) were transplanted. There was no difference in quality distribution for single and bilateral transplants. Young candidates were more likely to receive ideal (14.7% vs 12.3%) or standard (9.5% vs 8.2%) lungs, but not extended lungs (75.9% vs 79.5%; all P < .01). Absolute differences in distribution according to lung allocation score quartile were small (<2%). Extended quality donor utilization increased over time. Survival according to donor category was similar at 1 and 3 years post transplant in unadjusted and Cox regression analyses.
    Conclusions: Extended quality lungs comprise an increasing share of transplants in a national sample. Organ selection varies according to recipient age and lung allocation score. However, absolute differences in quality distribution are small, and adverse effects on outcomes are limited to organs with multiple extended qualifying characteristics.

    Abstract Objective: Implantation of an appropriately sized donor heart is critical for optimal outcomes after heart transplantation. Although predicted heart mass has recently gained consideration, there remains a need for improved granularity in size matching, particularly among small donor hearts. We sought to determine if indexed donor cardiac output is a sensitive metric to assess the adequacy of a donor heart for a given recipient.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed (2003-2021) in isolated orthotopic heart transplant recipients from the United Network for Organ Sharing database. Donor cardiac output was divided by recipient body surface area to compute cardiac index (donor cardiac index). Predicted heart mass ratio was computed as donor/recipient predicted heart mass. The primary outcome was mortality 1 year after transplant.
    Results: Among transplant recipients, median donor cardiac output was 7.3 (5.8-9.0) liters per minute and donor cardiac index was 3.7 (3.0-4.6) liters per minute/m
    Conclusions: Higher donor cardiac index was associated with a lower probability of 1-year mortality among patients undergoing heart transplantation and served to further quantify mortality risk among those with a small predicted heart mass ratio. Donor cardiac index appears to be an effective tool for size matching and may serve as an adjunctive strategy among small donor hearts with a low predicted heart mass ratio.
