The Impact

Background: The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and liver transplant (LT) recipients remains a concern. The aim of this study was to report the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection among patients at the tertiary health care centre Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM) during the first wave of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methods: This real-world, retrospective cohort included all patients admitted to our liver unit and/or seen as an outpatient with CLD with or without cirrhosis and/or LT recipients who tested positive to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Cases were considered positive as defined by the detection of SARS-CoV-2 by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on nasopharyngeal swabs. Results: Between April 1 and July 31, 2020, 5,637 were admitted to our liver unit and/or seen as outpatient. Among them, 42 were positive for SARS-CoV-2. Twenty-two patients had CLD without cirrhosis while 16 patients had cirrhosis at the time of the infection (13, 2, and 1 with Child–Pugh A, B, and C scores, respectively). Four were LT recipients. Overall, 15/42 patients (35.7%) were hospitalized; among them, 7/42 (16.7%) required respiratory support and 4/42 (9.5%) were transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). Only 4/42 (9.5%) patients died: 2 with CLD without cirrhosis and 2 with CLD with cirrhosis. Overall survival was 90.5%. Conclusion: This real-world study demonstrates an unexpectedly low prevalence and low mortality in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection among patients with CLD with or without cirrhosis and LT recipients.
