COPD prevalence in patients undergoing renal, heart and liver transplants is lower than it has been described in the general population. However, we did not find differences in the clinical characteristics analyzed between COPD and non-COPD patients. Furthermore, the IHM rate was only higher in COPD patients who underwent a kidney transplant but not in those undergoing a heart or liver transplant.
