Surveillance of Organ Transplant Recipients Affected by COVID-19: Data posted<\/h4>\n

The emergence of COVID-19 has had far-reaching implications for the public\u2019s health and has been particularly impactful in vulnerable populations such as transplant recipients. Through a collaboration between Dr. Deepali Kumar and Tina Marinelli (transplant infectious disease specialist, UHN), the\u00a0Canadian Society of Transplantation (CST)<\/a>, Canadian Blood Services<\/a>,\u00a0and the\u00a0Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Program (CDTRP), a\u00a0registry was developed\u00a0to capture data on all solid organ transplant recipients who contracted COVID-19 in Canada. The study is named SNO-TRAC<\/strong> (i.e., Surveillance of National Organ Transplant Recipients Affected by COVID-19).<\/p>\n

Through this effort, we hope to provide the Canadian transplant community with timely information on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, management, and prognosis of transplant recipients affected by COVID-19. The data also informs better approaches to prevention, treatment, and health policy and identifies knowledge gaps\u00a0that can be the focus of future research.<\/p>\n

All Canadian transplant centres were invited to participate in this important study. For those centres that can accommodate them, biospecimens (e.g., nasal swabs, bronchial washings, blood) are collected and banked to study viral pathogenesis, the immune response to SARS-CoV-2, and the role of co-infections on COVID-19 severity. Data from this study is hosted on the CBS website and is updated as new data is shared.<\/p>\n
