Staphylococcus aureus is the most commonly isolated gram-positive bacterium after lung
transplantation (LT) and has been associated with poor posttransplant outcomes, but its
effect on bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and death in the context of the allograft
inflammatory environment has not been studied. A three-state Cox semi-Markovian model
was used to determine the influence of allograft S. aureus and the ELR+ CXC chemokines
on the survival rates and cause-specific hazards for movement from lung transplant (State 1) …
