In press. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eururo.2020.03.027: The Forgotten Urological Patient During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Patient Safety Safeguards	2020-05-08		.txt	text/plain	768	54	45	https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eururo.2020.03.027: The Forgotten Urological Patient During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Patient Safety Safeguards As described by Stensland et al [1] , urology services have been reduced significantly, with manpower and resources redeployed and reallocated to frontline departments, focusing attention to urgent-only cases during the COVID-19 pandemic [2] . In this letter, we add to the considerations provided by Stensland et al by highlighting important patient safety strategies and safeguards used at a tertiary urological centre amid the climate of resource scarcity during this pandemic. Our national university centre for organ transplantation maintained our cadaveric-donor and living-donor kidney transplantation programmes during this period, with rigorous protocols to screen donors and recipients for COVID-19 to prevent transmission to these immunocompromised patients. With the global focus on patients affected by COVID-19, appropriate levels of urological care must be maintained as patient safety safeguards, especially for certain vulnerable populations.	./cache/cord-297836-y9vt6wvu.txt	./txt/cord-297836-y9vt6wvu.txt
