Summary

Frailty in lung transplant candidates increases the risk of delisting and adverse transplantation outcome \[1\]. Furthermore, preoperative frailty is associated with a higher one-year-mortality rate after transplantation in frail compared to non-frail candidates. Mortality increases with severity of frailty \[2,3\].

Decreasing the frailty-status of a LTx-candidate is therefore an approach to improve the pre- and also posttransplant situation. There is some evidence that frailty in LTx-candidates can be decreased by a homebased Rehabilitation \[5\]. However, at the moment these possible benefits are unknown for an inpatient rehabilitation. Therefore the aim of this study is to observe the effect of a three-week inpatient rehabilitation on frailty in lung transplant candidates.
