Abstract
Since its onset in the beginning of 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted the transplantation community broadly. Indeed, the number of transplantations decreased dramatically and transplantations were temporarily shut down in many localities.1,2 The dramatic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients began to emerge with reports initially from China, Spain, and Italy. The prevalence of COVID-19 in SOT during the first pandemic wave varied geographically, but despite several reports, the effective incidence of the COVID-19 in SOT recipients remains unclear.2-5 Most relevant, solid organ transplantation (heart, liver, and kidney) rates declined, exposing candidates to an increased rate of waitlist mortality.1
