During the early wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) designated a "black out" period between March 12, 2020, and June 12, 2020, for transplant outcomes reporting. We discuss the implications and potential bias it has introduced as it may selectively favor the outcomes for certain regions and harm other regions due to varied effects of different waves of COVID-19 infections across the United States.
在 COVID-19 大流行的早期阶段，移植受者科学登记处 (SRTR) 将 2020 年 3 月 12 日至 2020 年 6 月 12 日指定为移植结果报告的“暂停”期。我们讨论了它所带来的影响和潜在偏见，因为它可能由于美国各地 COVID-19 感染的不同波次的不同影响而选择性地偏向某些地区的结果，从而损害其他地区的结果。
