- Abstract
Regardless of age at time of transplant, AYA transplant recipients have a higher risk of graft loss compared with other age groups, partly related to medical non-adherence.1,2 Transition from pediatric to adult health care often occurs during, and potentially intensifying, this challenging time. AYA solid organ transplant recipients are confronted with unique life stressors that may negatively impact allograft outcomes. Fortunately, pediatric solid organ transplant recipients with COVID-19 infection appear to have a similar prognosis to immunocompetent peers3; however, the pandemic has impacted post-transplant management, including reduced access to multidisciplinary care and education/support.4 In 2016, our center implemented a comprehensive T SB 2 sb AC curriculum for AYA solid organ transplant recipients at Children's Hospital Colorado.
