Abstract

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.
