Note. Centers in states with the lowest rates of per capita reported coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases had 9% fewer new listings than expected (incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 0.91), 21% fewer DDKT (IRR 0.79), 84% fewer LDKT (IRR 0.16), and 23% fewer waitlist deaths (IRR = 0.77, NS). Centers in states with very high rates of COVID-19 cases had 41% fewer new listings than expected, 61% fewer DDKT, 99% fewer LDKT, and 2.2-fold more waitlist deaths. Bold denotes IRRs that are statistically significantly different from the IRR in states with the lowest per-capita reported COVID-19 cases.
Abbreviations: DCD, donation after cardiac death; DDKT, deceased-donor kidney transplantation; LDKT, living-donor kidney transplantation.
