Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background COVID-19 has brought into questioning the equitable distribution of resources. Solid Organ Transplants (SOT) are life-saving procedures. Rapid changes in the management of patients are occurring, with potential for inequity. Drawing on professionals across transplant specialities, we investigated resource distribution specifically for SOT to guide healthcare policies.

A multidisciplinary team developed a survey. The survey included demographic questions to contextualise respondents, questions on resource allocation for SOT. Multiple strategies were used to distribute the survey internationally. Descriptive, uni-multivariate ordinal regressions analysis were performed. Open comments were analysed using qualitative methods.

Survey Group

The survey sought to elucidate equity principles that are influencing transplant decision making. The group of respondents included solid organ transplant doctors (surgeons, referring doctors, transplant physicians, transplant coordinators, ICU transplant doctors), COVID-doctors (ICU doctors, Infectious Disease Doctors, Pulmonologists, Internists), and Ethicists with experience of transplant related issues.

Respondent identification:
