Methods A questionnaire was distributed to thoracic organ transplant recipients to capture demographics, risk perception, knowledge regarding vaccination, history of travel outside metropolitan France, pre‐travel advice, health issues during travel outside Europe, and travel intentions in the following year. Comparisons were performed between travelers and non‐travelers through univariable then multivariable logistic regression. Results 134 patients completed the survey (72% lung, 11% heart, and 17% heart–lung transplant recipients). Twenty‐four percent considered themselves at moderately to significantly increased risk of travel‐related health issues. Sixty‐two patients (47%) had traveled outside metropolitan France. Among 29 subjects who had traveled outside Europe, 22 had received pre‐travel advice. Among 62 respondents who had traveled outside metropolitan France, 6 (10%) experienced health issues (all outside Europe), which led to consultation in three cases and hospitalization in one case. Among 117 respondents, 68 (58%) intended to travel within the following year, and 57 (84%) to seek medical advice before departure, predominantly from their transplant physician. In multivariable analysis, being a lung transplant recipient and higher education level were associated with travel outside Europe. The time post‐transplantation was longer for all types of travel, when compared to non‐travelers. Conclusions Almost half of adult thoracic transplant recipients had traveled outside metropolitan France, 22% outside Europe, and 10% of travelers experienced health issues. The suboptimal preparation of these patients underlines the potential benefits of closer interaction between travel medicine specialists and transplant physicians. 10.1111/ctr.70206 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ |
