The COVID-19 pandemic has uniquely affected the United States. We hypothesize that transplantation would be uniquely affected.
In this population-based cohort study, adult transplantation data were examined as time series data. Autoregressive-integrated-moving-average models of transplantation rates were developed using data from 1990 to 2019 to forecast the 2020 expected rates in a theoretical scenario if the pandemic did not occur to generate observed-to-expected (O/E) ratios.
32,594 transplants were expected in 2020, and only 30,566 occurred (O/E 0.94, CI 0.88-0.99). 58,152 waitlist registrations were expected and 50,241 occurred (O/E 0.86, CI 0.80-0.94). O/E ratios of transplants were kidney 0.92 (0.86-0.98), liver 0.96 (0.89-1.04), heart 1.05 (0.91-1.23), and lung 0.92 (0.82-1.04). O/E ratios of registrations were kidney 0.84 (0.77-0.93), liver 0.95 (0.86-1.06), heart 0.99 (0.85-1.18), and lung 0.80 (0.70-0.94).
The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a significant deficit in transplantation. The impact was strongest in kidney transplantation and waitlist registration.
COVID-19 大流行对美国产生了独特的影响。我们假设移植也会受到独特的影响。
在这项基于人群的队列研究中,将成人移植数据作为时间序列数据进行检查。使用 1990 年至 2019 年的数据,建立了移植率的自回归积分移动平均模型,以预测在假设没有大流行的情况下,2020 年的预期比率,以生成观察到的预期(O/E)比率。
预计 2020 年将进行 32594 次移植,但实际仅进行了 30566 次(O/E 0.94,CI 0.88-0.99)。预计有 58152 个等待名单登记,但实际有 50241 个(O/E 0.86,CI 0.80-0.94)。移植的 O/E 比率为肾脏 0.92(0.86-0.98)、肝脏 0.96(0.89-1.04)、心脏 1.05(0.91-1.23)和肺 0.92(0.82-1.04)。登记的 O/E 比率为肾脏 0.84(0.77-0.93)、肝脏 0.95(0.86-1.06)、心脏 0.99(0.85-1.18)和肺 0.80(0.70-0.94)。
COVID-19 大流行与移植显著不足有关。对肾脏移植和等待名单登记的影响最大。
