COVID-19 in SOT versus non-SOT

Abstract

We read with great interest ¿Inpatient COVID-19 Outcomes in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients Compared to Non-Solid Organ Transplant Patients: A Retrospective Cohort¿ by Avery et al. The authors compared outcomes of 45 solid organ transplant recipients with 2427 non-transplant patients admitted with COVID-19 at Johns Hopkins medical system finding no differences in outcomes between the groups and concluded that SOT status does not portend adverse outcome from COVID-19.
