The global pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has potentially affected liver transplantation (LT) programs worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine whether the COVID-19 outbreak affected organ donation and LT activity in France.
Data on the number of brain-dead donor procurements and adult liver transplantations were compared between two periods (1 January- 31 May 2019 vs. 1 January-31 May 2020).
There was a 28% decrease in the number of organ donations in 2020 (543 in 2020vs. 752 organ donations in 2019). A 22% decrease in the number of liver transplantations was also observed: 435 in 2020 vs. 556 LTs in 2019. Overall, the North East area which was the main COVID-19 cluster area, had > 25% decrease of the multiorgan procurement (-33% compared to 2019), and liver transplantation (-26% compared to 2019) activities in 2020 CONCLUSION: This analysis confirmed that during the COVID-19 outbreak there was a significant decrease in the number of organ donations and liver transplantations performed in France.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的全球大流行可能已经影响了全球的肝移植（LT）计划。本研究旨在确定 COVID-19 疫情是否影响了法国的器官捐赠和 LT 活动。
比较了两个时期（2019 年 1 月 1 日至 5 月 31 日与 2020 年 1 月 1 日至 5 月 31 日）的脑死亡供体采集数量和成人肝移植数量。
2020 年器官捐献数量下降了 28%（2020 年为 543 例，而 2019 年为 752 例）。肝移植数量也下降了 22%：2020 年为 435 例，而 2019 年为 556 例。总体而言，东北地区是 COVID-19 的主要聚集区，2020 年多器官采集活动减少了>25%（与 2019 年相比减少了 33%），肝移植活动减少了 26%（与 2019 年相比减少了 26%）。
本分析证实，在 COVID-19 疫情期间，法国的器官捐赠数量和进行的肝移植数量显著减少。
