Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is associated with significant mortality. The elderly, patients with comorbidities, and solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are particularly at risk. We observed a low incidence of severe disease in our population and aimed to determine the outcomes of COVID-19 (disease severity/intensive care unit [ICU] admissions/mortality) in SOT recipients.
