The recent COVID-19 outbreak has quickly become a worldwide pandemic emergency. The course of this pandemic is still unknown, with more than 6 million cases identified and over 370 000 deaths globally as of June 1, 2020. The uncertainty and anxiety during this period will have a detrimental effect on the global health system. The organ transplantation field has been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in regions where the intensity of cases exceeds the available capacity of the health care resources. Recently, scattered data have been published in the English literature, mainly in case reports and letters to the editor, that describe the effect of COVID-19 on donors and recipients of abdominal solid organs. Our objective is to review and draw conclusions from these data.
最近的 COVID-19 疫情迅速成为全球大流行紧急事件。截至 2020 年 6 月 1 日,该疫情的发展进程仍不明朗,已确诊病例超过 600 万例,全球死亡病例超过 37 万例。在此期间,不确定性和焦虑感会对全球卫生系统产生不利影响。器官移植领域受到了 COVID-19 疫情的负面影响,特别是在病例强度超过卫生资源可用能力的地区。最近,在英文文献中发表了一些分散的数据,主要是病例报告和给编辑的信,描述了 COVID-19 对腹部实体器官供体和受者的影响。我们的目的是从这些数据中进行回顾并得出结论。
