(A) Freedom from bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) for 263 patients undergoing lung transplantation. (B) Freedom from BOS by swallowing evaluation (SE) category. No statistical differences were noted between patients without SE (— — —) those with positive SE (–•–•), and those with negative SE (• • •) performed in the early postoperative period (p = 0.34 log-rank).

Kaplan-Meier estimates of mortality after lung transplantation (LT) by swallowing evaluation (SE) category. Patients demonstrating normal deglutition after LT had improved survival compared with those with abnormal swallowing or with no swallowing assessment (*p = log-rank). (— — — = patients without SE; –•–• = patients with positive SE; • • • = patients with negative SE.)
