Course: Pediatric Heart Transplant Waiting List Times in the US During the COVID-19 Pandemic

CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2022-10-07

Transplant disciplines have faced considerable challenges in maintaining allocation and sustaining delivery of care during the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the association between the COVID-19 pandemic and increased waiting list times among pediatric heart transplant (HT) recipients in the US.
The United Network for Organ Sharing data set was used to identify pediatric HT recipients (age <18 years) according to predefined waiting list periods before the COVID-19 pandemic (November 1, 2018, to February 28, 2020) and during the pandemic (March 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021). Because data were deidentified, the University of Colorado Institutional Review Board deemed the study exempt from approval and waived informed consent. The study followed the reporting guideline.
