COVID-19 has drastically affected transplant services, but there is limited understanding of the discrepancy of COVID-19 effects on various regions of the world. We have explored the Global Observatory for Organ Donation and Transplantation data for assessing the transplant number changes between the calendar year 2019 (n = 157,301) and 2020 (129,681). There was a disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on different areas of the world. Globally, there was a decline of 17.5%, in which deceased donation, kidney (20.9%), pancreas (16.2%), lung (12.7%), liver (11.3%), and heart (8%) transplant declined disproportionally in different regions of the world. The pandemic affected almost all geographic regions and nations, but China and the United States were mostly able to recover from the initial halt of the transplant practices by the pandemic so that there was a cumulative increase in transplant numbers. Our data show that developing nations lagged behind, whereas developed nations have been able to recover their transplantation programs during the pandemic. Further policy making and preparedness is required to safeguard the most vulnerable areas of the world to minimize the impact of any future pandemic on transplantation practices.
