Mortality and Readmissions of Solid-Organs Transplant Recipients Hospitalized Due to COVID-19 Infection with the Omicron Variant: A Matched Cohort Study.
The heightened vulnerability of hospitalized SOT recipients during the Omicron wave was characterized by higher mortality and readmission rates compared to matched controls. Despite the perceived milder nature of the Omicron variant, SOT recipients remain disproportionately affected. Continued vigilance and targeted interventions are necessary for this population including vaccinations and adherence to preventive measures. Investigating this population's outcomes through the changing COVID-19 variants is still warranted.
