METHODS:
Institutional Review Board approval at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center was obtained. We performed a retrospective chart review examining all adult heart transplants performed between March 2020 and June 2020. This was compared to the same time frame in 2019. We examined demographic data and outcomes which included incidence of primary graft dysfunction (PGD), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), length of stay and 30-day survival. In addition, donor variables including hepatitis C status and distance from our transplant center were examined. Statistical analysis was performed with Microsoft Excel (Redmond, Washington).
