Introduction: The clinical management of COVID-19 in immunocompromised patients remains a challenge. The aim of this work was to develop a consensus to establish recommendations for the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with rheumatic diseases and COVID-19.
Methods: A panel of 14 international experts was selected and Delphi methodology was used for the consensus, after a systematic literature review.
Objectives: Our aim was to address existing knowledge gaps regarding risk stratification, best use of diagnostic resources, optimal treatment and general management of SARS-CoV-2 infection in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. As high-quality evidence specific to this fragile population is lacking, our final aim was to provide an expert consensus evidence-informed guidance that can aid clinicians in their daily practice.
Methods: This study was conducted within the Working Package 4 (WP4 - Fragile population cohorts) of the H2020 funded ORCHESTRA study [https://orchestra-cohort.
