Mortality in patients with cancer and coronavirus disease 2019: A systematic review and pooled analysis of 52 studies
Open accessAbstract
Background Patients with COVID-19 who have underlying malignancy have a higher mortality rate compared with those without cancer, although the magnitude of such excess risk is not clearly defined. We performed a systematic review and pooled analysis to provide precise estimates of the mortality rate among patients with both cancer and COVID-19. Methods A systematic literature search involving peer reviewed publications, preprints, and conference proceedings up to July 16, 2020 was performed. The primary endpoint was the case fatality rate (CFR), defined as rate of death among patients with cancer and COVID-19. The CFR was assessed with a random effects model, which was used to derive a pooled CFR and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Results 52 studies, involving a total of 18,650 patients with both COVID-19 and cancer were selected for the pooled analysis. A total of 4,243 deaths were recorded in this population. The probability of death was 25·6% (95% CI 22·0% to 29·9%; I2=48·9%) in this patient population. Conclusions Patients with cancer who develop COVID-19 have high probability of mortality. Appropriate and aggressive preventive measures must be taken to reduce the risk of COVID-19 in patients with cancer, and to optimally manage those who do contract the infection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
