Early Outcomes of Outpatient Management of Kidney Transplant Recipients with Coronavirus Disease 2019.
Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology(2020)
摘要
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Outcomes of kidney transplant recipients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 as outpatients have not been described.DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS:We obtained clinical data for 41 consecutive outpatient kidney transplant recipients with known or suspected coronavirus disease 2019. Chi-squared and Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used to compare characteristics of patients who required hospitalization versus those who did not.RESULTS:Of 41 patients, 22 (54%) had confirmed coronavirus disease 2019, and 19 (46%) were suspected cases. Patients most commonly reported fever (80%), cough (56%), and dyspnea (39%). At the end of follow-up, 13 patients (32%) required hospitalization a median of 8 days (range, 1-16) after symptom onset, and 23 (56%) had outpatient symptom resolution a median of 12 days (4-23) after onset. Patients who required hospitalization were more likely to have reported dyspnea (77% versus 21%, P=0.003) and had higher baseline creatinine (median, 2.0 versus 1.3 mg/dl, P=0.02), but there were no other differences between groups.CONCLUSIONS:In an early cohort of outpatient kidney transplant recipients with known or suspected coronavirus disease 2019, many had symptomatic resolution without requiring hospitalization.
