National survey on deceased donor organ transplantation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan

Organ donation and organ transplantation data were extracted from the Japan Organ Transplant Network website, which was then extracted from the organization's Organ Donation and Organ Transplant Network website. Since cardiac death decreased to 9 in 2020, the number of brain-dead donors decreased to 68, and the number of donors increased to 9. Conclusion Although the COVID-19 pandemic has less impact in Japan than in other countries, it has had a major effect on transplantation surgery in 48 percent of the transplantation centers, including 78% of the kidney transplantation centers, and decreased the number of organ transplantation centers to 61% of the year-on-year average, according to a report.
