| Core Tip |
Patients with solid organ transplants may be at higher risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, there is a dearth of large-scale population-based data. Using a multicenter database, this retrospective cohort study evaluates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospital-related outcomes for liver transplant (LT) recipients in the United States. Our findings show that the LT hospitalization rates were similar before and during the pandemic. LT recipients had increased rates of inpatient mortality and transplant rejection during the COVID-19 pandemic. It underscores the importance of tailored clinical management to improve outcomes and reduce morbidity and mortality for hospitalized LT recipients. |
