Weight gain in lung transplantation patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in Croatia
Background: To determine the effect of lockdown measures on lung transplant patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Subjects and methods: We collected data from Croatian lung transplant patients before and after the lockdown and analyzed changes in weight, BMI, lung function and blood lipid status. Results: An average increase of 3.74 kg (+4.92%) body weight during the 4 month lockdown period was observed. Lung function values and blood lipid status remained stable. Conclusion: Such weight gain could have detrimental effects on the morbidity and mortality of lung transplant patients. Further follow up is needed to determine the long term impacts of this observation.
