Long COVID risk factors and outcomes among solid organ transplant recipients: a retrospective cohort study
The observed differences between patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and long COVID before and after transplant warrant additional studies as the proportion of people with some SARS-CoV-2 infection history approaches 90%. Future investigations may prioritize longitudinal follow-up of long COVID patients diagnosed before or after transplant to determine specific etiologies of long-term morbidity and mortality.
