cord-271575-n70rqs8c	Jager, Kitty J.	Results from the ERA-EDTA Registry indicate a high mortality due to COVID-19 in dialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients across Europe.	2020-10-15		.txt	text/plain	3034	162	51	Under normal circumstances, age-standardized cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality rates in dialysis patients are already 8.8 and 8.1 times higher than in the general population, respectively, 4 and compared to their age and sex matched counterparts in the general population, kidney transplant recipients experience a 30-50% reduced life expectancy. 7 Although no deaths were reported among 5 COVID-19 cases on hemodialysis in a single Chinese centre, 8 several case series from Italy (n=41, n=94), 9, 10 Spain (n=36) 11 and the United States (n=59) 12 with varying follow-up suggest a high mortality in the dialysis population with rates ranging from 29% to 41%. Supplementary Figure 1 shows that the mortality risk in transplant recipients with COVID-19 was 28% higher (HR 1.28 (95%CI 1.02 to 1.60)) compared with the selected group of dialysis patients that could be matched (Table S4) . Multivariable analyses identified higher age and male sex as risk factors for 28-day mortality in COVID-19 dialysis patients (Table 2) .	./cache/cord-271575-n70rqs8c.txt	./txt/cord-271575-n70rqs8c.txt
