Comparative COVID-19 epidemiologic studies between immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients may provide insight into the impact of immunosuppressive medications on clinical outcomes. In this retrospective cohort pilot study, we determined the incidence and outcomes of COVID-19 in kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant recipients and kidney or kidney-pancreas waitlisted patients in our center. COVID-19 testing was performed in 63 of 537 kidney or kidney-pancreas transplanted patients, versus 43 of 383 kidney or kidney-pancreas waitlisted patients as of June 4, 2020 (12% versus 11%, p=0.81). COVID-19 was identified in 14 of 537 kidney or kidney-pancreas transplanted patients, versus 9 of 383 kidney or kidney-pancreas waitlisted patients (2.6% versus 2.3%, p=0.81). Hospitalization occurred in 11 of 14 transplanted patients, and 4 of 9 waitlisted patients with COVID-19 (79% versus 44%, p=0.18). Intensive care unit admission occurred in 5 of 14 transplanted patients, and 1 of 9 waitlisted patients with COVID-19 (36% versus 11%, p=0.34). Two transplanted patients with COVID-19 were mechanically ventilated and died, whereas no waitlisted patients with COVID-19 died or were mechanically ventilated. Our study provides preliminary data that can be used for power calculations to inform multicenter studies designed to validate these findings.
