An overview of the effect of telehealth on mortality: A systematic review of meta-analyses

Centaine L. Snoswell et al.

Summary: Telehealth is considered as an effective way to address healthcare accessibility issues for individuals with transport difficulties or those living in rural and remote areas. This review summarizes evidence from 24 meta-analyses and shows that telehealth does not increase mortality rates. These findings can be used by decision makers to support and guide the implementation of telehealth plans.

Characteristics and Outcomes of Heart Transplant Recipients With Coronavirus-19 Disease in a High-volume Transplant Center

Fabiana G. Marcondes-Braga et al.

Summary: This study investigates the characteristics and outcomes of heart transplant recipients infected with SARS-CoV-2. The findings reveal a high hospitalization rate and mortality rate in these patients. A subset of patients experienced severe disease and had lower lymphocyte counts during follow-up. Longer follow-up also showed an increased mortality rate, with bacterial infections being the leading cause of death. Cardiac allograft rejection and ventricular dysfunction were also notable. Strict midterm surveillance is recommended for heart transplant recipients with COVID-19.

Donor-derived cell-free DNA is associated with cardiac allograft vasculopathy

Summary: Higher levels of dd-cfDNA were associated with CAV in stable chronic HT recipients, and were linked to the presence of donor-specific antibodies. However, dd-cfDNA levels did not differ significantly when stratified by time post-transplant.
