Abstract
Background: Immunocompromised patients have been at an increased risk of succumbing to coronavirus disease 2019 COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.
Methods: Here, we analyzed mortality and case fatality data from dialysis and kidney transplant patients, and compared each with an age-matched subgroup of the general population.
Results: We found that both patients on dialysis and kidney transplant patients remain at increased risk of succumbing to COVID-19 (despite all available countermeasures.
Conclusions: The analyses underline the need for additional protection for this vulnerable population.
