Solid organ transplantation programs facing lack of empiric evidence in the COVID‐19 pandemic: A By‐proxy Society Recommendation Consensus approach	2020-05-10		.txt	text/plain	2530	176	46	title: Solid organ transplantation programs facing lack of empiric evidence in the COVID‐19 pandemic: A By‐proxy Society Recommendation Consensus approach 6 As no consensus guidelines or international recommendations have been published on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) and organ transplant, the aim of this study was to offer a consensus-based approach to manage transplant programs until reliable data on risk and benefits of conducting organ transplants in times of a viral pandemic are available. the United Kingdom recommend a low threshold for SARS-CoV-2testing in transplant patients after contact with a positively tested person or subject to a broader spectrum of COVID-19-associated symptoms. Although SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal PCR shows reasonable sensitivity, a recently published study demonstrates that of 51 COVID-19 patients only 36 were initially positive in NAT.
