Outcomes of COVID-19 in 24 hospitalized liver transplant recipients: an observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although liver transplant (LT) recipients are considered a population at risk of severe features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), data in this regard are scarce and controversial. In this study, we reported the outcome of 24 cases of LT recipients who were hospitalized due to COVID-19 and investigated the role-playing factors in the severity of the disease.

Methods

In this single-center, analytic case-series study, eligible patients were among LT recipients who were hospitalized due to the diagnosis of COVID-19 based on positive results of polymerase chain reaction. Participants were categorized as severe COVID-19 if they were admitted to the intensive care unit, experienced respiratory failure demanding mechanical ventilation, or eventually died. Demograph
