Mortality risk factors in kidney-transplanted patients with COVID-19: A systematic review and regression analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The kidney transplant patients who receive immunosuppressive and specific medication may lead to different mortality risk factors between kidney transplant patients with COVID-19 and the general population. We aimed to provide a model predictor and a risk analysis of mortality in kidney transplant COVID-19 positive patients.

Methods

We performed our search using PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify English articles published from the beginning of December 2019 through August 2020. Excluded manuscripts had no full text, lacked information, were not the original article, or consisted of less than three cases. We gathered information about demographic information, comorbidities, COVID-19 symptoms, lung radiographic findings
