The LAS calculator

Lung Allocation Score (LAS)

The Lung Allocation Score (LAS) determines the ranking order in which offers are made to patients waiting for a lung transplant. According to this allocation policy, the patient with the highest LAS will be the first one to receive the lung offer. The score is constructed from estimates of each patient’s medical urgency prior to transplantation and the probability of success after transplantation. Since the system is based on a ‘net benefit’ concept it will give priority to patients who are most urgently in need of a transplant and who are expected to receive the greatest benefit.

Please note: The print button is only visible after filling out the form.

Please note: the LAS may change on a daily basis due to age. The actual LAS provided to a candidate is based on the data entered in the Thoracic Urgency Request database by the transplant center. The score produced by the LAS Calculator on this website is for your informational use only.
