Pre-transplant cytomegalovirus (CMV) serostatus has been associated with lung transplant patient survival. We retrospectively analyzed the relationship between pre-transplant donor/recipient CMV serostatus and long-term mortality in a cohort of lung transplant recipients at our center. ⋯ Our review of the impact of CMV managed differently across eras suggests in lung transplantation there is no independent influence of D/R CMV serostatus on 10-year survival.
