We discovered a threshold for reduced BALF CCSP to discriminate future CLAD risk; supporting the utility of BALF CCSP as a tool for early posttransplant risk stratification. Additionally, our finding that low CCSP associates with future CLAD underscores a role for club cell injury in CLAD pathobiology.
