The COVID-19 pandemic has been well-documented to have a variable impact on individual communities and health care systems. We describe the experience of a single organ procurement organization (OPO), located in an area without a large cluster of cases during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. A review of community health data describing the impact of COVID-19 nationally and in Oklahoma was conducted. Additionally, a retrospective review of available OPO data from March 2019-May 2020 was performed. While the amount of donor referrals received and organs recovered by the OPO remained stable in the initial months of the pandemic, the observed organs transplanted vs. expected organs transplanted (O:E) decreased to the lowest number in the 15-month period and organs transplanted decreased as well. Fewer organs from Oklahoma donors were accepted for transplant despite staff spending more time allocating organs.
COVID-19 大流行对各个社区和医疗保健系统的影响各不相同，这一点已得到充分记录。我们描述了一个位于 COVID-19 大流行初始阶段没有大量病例集群地区的单一器官采购组织 (OPO) 的经历。对描述 COVID-19 在全国和俄克拉荷马州影响的社区健康数据进行了审查。此外，对 2019 年 3 月至 2020 年 5 月期间可用的 OPO 数据进行了回顾性审查。虽然 OPO 收到的捐赠者推荐数量和回收的器官在大流行的最初几个月保持稳定，但观察到的移植器官与预期移植器官 (O:E) 的比例降至 15 个月期间的最低水平，移植的器官数量也有所下降。尽管工作人员花费更多时间分配器官，但来自俄克拉荷马州捐赠者的器官接受移植的数量减少。
