The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has unfavorably influenced solid organ donation activity.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on transplantation in the North Italy Transplant program (NITp).
This cross-sectional study included all consecutive potential deceased donors proposed in the NITp in 6 weeks after February 21, 2020 (period A) compared to all potential donors during the same time frame of the previous years (period B) and all potential donors 6 weeks before February 20, 2020 (period C).
Fifty-eight deceased donors were proposed during period A, 95 were proposed during period B, and 128 were proposed during period C. After the evaluation process, 32 of 58 (55.2%), 60 of 95 (63.2%), and 79 of 128 (61.7%) donors were used for organ donation in periods A, B, and C, respectively (P value = .595). We observed a 47% donation reduction in period A compared to period B and a 60% reduction compared to period C. There was a reduction of 44% and 59% in transplantation comparing period A with period B and period C, respectively.
This study showed an important reduction of donations and transplants during the COVID-19 pandemic.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情对实体器官捐赠活动产生了不利影响。
本研究旨在调查COVID-19对意大利北部移植项目（NITp）中移植手术的影响。
这项横断面研究纳入了2020年2月21日之后6周内在NITp中提出的所有连续潜在已故捐赠者（A期），并与前几年同一时间段的所有潜在捐赠者（B期）以及2020年2月20日之前6周的所有潜在捐赠者（C期）进行比较。
A期提出了58名已故捐赠者，B期提出了95名，C期提出了128名。经过评估过程，A期、B期和C期分别有58名中的32名（55.2%）、95名中的60名（63.2%）和128名中的-79名（61.7%）捐赠者用于器官捐赠（P值 = 0.595）。我们观察到，与B期相比，A期捐赠减少了47%，与C期相比减少了60%。与B期和C期相比，A期移植分别减少了44%和59%。
本研究表明，在COVID-19大流行期间，捐赠和移植数量大幅减少。
