COVID-19疫情迅速演变,并以前所未有的方式改变了我们的生活方式。COVID-19的出现影响了全世界的移植。这种影响不仅限于与捐助者或受援者有关的问题,而且还影响到保健资源的利用,因为某些管辖区的案件密度超过了现有能力。在此,我们提供了代表世界各地不同司法管辖区的个人观点,以概述当前COVID-19大流行对器官移植的影响。根据我们的集体经验,我们讨论了缓解策略,如供体筛选,资源规划,并分阶段的方法移植量的考虑,当地资源问题的需求。我们还讨论了大流行期间与移植相关的研究问题,移植传染病的作用,以及移植协会对教育和传播当前信息的影响。
The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly evolved and changed our way of life in an unprecedented manner. The emergence of COVID-19 has impacted transplantation worldwide. The impact has not been just restricted to issues pertaining to donors or recipients, but also health-care resource utilization as the intensity of cases in certain jurisdictions exceeds available capacity. Here we provide a personal viewpoint representing different jurisdictions from around the world in order to outline the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic on organ transplantation. Based on our collective experience, we discuss mitigation strategies such as donor screening, resource planning, and a staged approach to transplant volume considerations as local resource issues demand. We also discuss issues related to transplant-related research during the pandemic, the role of transplant infectious diseases, and the influence of transplant societies for education and disseminating current information.
