"Less likely" (/"more likely") indicates that a program reported less likely (more likely) to use the agent in question during the early months of the pandemic, when compared to before the pandemic.
calculated from March 13 to July 15, 2020 as reported by the Johns Hopkins COVID Map, supplemented by covidindia.org. Reported in person per million population (ppm) and divided into tertiles for the entire cohort. Low: <2031 ppm, Medium: 2032‐5400 ppm, High: >5400 ppm
Volume was defined as conducting the following number of transplants/year: Low<20, moderate 20‐100, high >100. "0" with no confidence interval indicates that zero respondents in this category gave this response.
