The Lung Transplant Frailty Scale allows you to enter variable information to calculate the LT-FS. It comes in three options: LT-FS-Base, LT-FS-Body Composition, and LT-FS-Biomarker
The variables for the LT-FS-Base are:
1. Balance
2. Grip Strength
3. Gait Speed
4. Serum C-Reactive Protein
5. Gender
6. Height (cm)
7. Weight (kg)

The variables for the LT-FS-Body Composition are:
1. LT-FS-Base Variables
2. Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass (kg)

The variables for the LT-FS-Biomarker are:
1. LT-FS-Body Composition Variables
2. Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist (IL1Ra)
3. Interleukin-6 (IL-6)
4. Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1)
5. Growth/differentiation Factor 15 (GDF-15)
6. Apelin
