The clinical presentation and outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have not been well studied.
We performed a meta-analysis to examine the presenting features, outcomes and the effect of treatment on outcomes of KTRs with COVID-19. Database search was performed up to 5 September 2020 through PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and CENTRAL.
Overall, 23 studies (1,373 patients) were included in the review and meta-analysis. The most common presenting symptoms included fever (74.0%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 65.3-81.1), cough (63.3%, 95% CI 56.5-69.6) and dyspnoea (47.5%, 95% CI 39.6-55.6). Pooled rates of mortality and critical illness were 21.1% (95% CI 15.3-28.4) and 27.7% (95% CI 21.5-34.8), respectively. Acute kidney injury occurred in 38.9% (95% CI 30.6-48.1) and dialysis was required in 12.4% (95% CI 8.3-18.0) of the cases.
Kidney transplant recipients with COVID-19 have a similar clinical presentation as the general population, but they have higher morbidity and mortality. It is uncertain whether high-dose corticosteroid or hydroxychloroquine reduces the risks of mortality in KTRs with COVID-19.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)在肾移植受者(KTRs)中的临床表现和预后尚未得到充分研究。
我们进行了一项荟萃分析,以研究感染COVID-19的KTRs的表现特征、预后以及治疗对预后的影响。截至2020年9月5日,通过PubMed、Embase、Web of Science、Scopus和CENTRAL进行数据库检索。
总体而言,23项研究(1373例患者)纳入了本综述和荟萃分析。最常见的表现症状包括发热(74.0%,95%置信区间[CI]65.3-81.1)、咳嗽(63.3%,95%CI 56.5-69.6)和呼吸困难(47.5%,95%CI 39.6-55.6)。汇总的死亡率和危重病发生率分别为21.1%(95%CI 15.3-28.4)和27.7%(95%CI 21.5-34.8)。38.9%(95%CI 30.6-48.1)的病例发生急性肾损伤,12.4%(95%CI 8.3-18.0)的病例需要透析。
感染COVID-19的肾移植受者的临床表现与普通人群相似,但他们的发病率和死亡率更高。大剂量皮质类固醇或羟氯喹是否能降低感染COVID-19的KTRs的死亡风险尚不确定。
