a
Sample size for other organs (lung, pancreas, liver segment, intestine, en-bloc kidneys) all <10 for positive SARS-CoV-2 status and excluded from table; dispositions of no authorization requested or obtained and recovered not for transplant excluded from analysis.
b
p-value <.05 for association of recovery or discard with SARS-CoV-2 status.
c
P-POS—former positive SARS-CoV-2 test, but final test negative.
