The measures he developed -the Lung Transplant Quality of Life scale (LT-QOL), Lung Transplant-Valued Life Activities scale(LT-VLA), the Lung Transplant Frailty Scale (LT-FS), and the Fried Frailty Phenotype-DASI (FFP-DASI) are among the few patient-reported outcome and frailty measures developed specificallyfor the field.He received his undergraduate degree from Stanford University.
