Document: 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.
