Abstract

The current COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has impacted many facets of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in both developed and developing countries. Realizing the challenges as a result of this pandemic affecting the daily practice of the HCT centers and the recognition of the variability in practice worldwide, the Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) and the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research's (CIBMTR) Health Services and International Studies Committee have jointly produced an expert opinion statement as a general guide to deal with certain aspects of HCT, including diagnostics for SARS-CoV-2 in HCT recipient, pre- and post-HCT management, donor issues, medical tourism, and facilities management. During these crucial times, which may last for months or years, the HCT community must reorganize to proceed with transplantation activity in those patients who urgently require it, albeit with extreme caution. This shared knowledge may be of value to the HCT community in the absence of high-quality evidence-based medicine.

COVID-19大流行期间造血细胞移植的现实问题和潜在解决方案:来自全球血液和骨髓移植网络和国际血液和骨髓移植研究中心卫生服务和国际研究委员会的观点

当前由SARS-CoV-2引起的COVID-19大流行，对发达国家和发展中国家造血细胞移植(HCT)的许多方面都产生了影响。认识到此次大流行对HCT中心日常工作的影响所带来的挑战，以及认识到世界范围内实践的差异，世界血液和骨髓移植网络(WBMT)和国际血液和骨髓移植研究中心(CIBMTR)卫生服务和国际研究委员会联合编写了一份专家意见声明，作为处理HCT某些方面的一般指南。包括HCT接受者的SARS-CoV-2诊断、HCT前后的管理、捐赠者问题、医疗旅游和设施管理。在这些可能持续数月或数年的关键时期，HCT社区必须重新组织，对那些迫切需要移植的患者进行移植活动，尽管要非常谨慎。在缺乏高质量循证医学的情况下，这种共享的知识可能对HCT社区有价值。©2020美国移植和细胞治疗学会。Elsevier Inc.出版。
