Immunocompromised patients have been at an increased risk of succumbing to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) since the beginning of the pandemic.
Here, we analyzed mortality and case fatality data from dialysis and kidney transplant patients, and compared each with an age-matched subgroup of the general population.
We found that both patients on dialysis and kidney transplant patients remain at increased risk of succumbing to COVID-19 despite all available countermeasures.
The analyses underline the need for additional protection for this vulnerable population.
自疫情开始以来,免疫功能低下的患者罹患 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的风险增加。
在这里,我们分析了透析和肾移植患者的死亡率和病死率数据,并将其与一般人群的年龄匹配亚组进行了比较。
我们发现,尽管采取了所有可用的对策,透析患者和肾移植患者仍有更高的 COVID-19 死亡风险。
这些分析强调了为这一脆弱人群提供额外保护的必要性。
