Outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection in cancer versus non-cancer-patients: A population-based study in northeastern Italy

Massimo Rugge et al.

Summary: This study examines the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and clinical outcomes in cancer and non-cancer patients. It finds that cancer patients have a lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to non-cancer individuals, regardless of the time since cancer diagnosis. However, cancer patients are more likely to be hospitalized and die from COVID-19 compared to non-cancer individuals. The risk of death is particularly high in cancer patients with lung, hematologic, or breast malignancies.

Cancer and the risk of coronavirus disease 2019 diagnosis, hospitalisation and death: A population-based multistate cohort study including 4 618 377 adults in Catalonia, Spain

Elena Roel et al.

Summary: This study showed that cancer patients have a higher risk of COVID-19 diagnosis, hospitalization, and death compared to non-cancer patients. These associations were stronger for patients recently diagnosed with cancer, under 70 years old, and those with hematological cancers. Therefore, these patients should be prioritized in COVID-19 vaccination campaigns and ongoing non-pharmaceutical interventions.

Summary: This study showed that patients with recent cancer treatment and COVID-19 had significantly higher risk of adverse outcomes, while patients with no recent cancer treatment had similar outcomes to those without cancer. The findings have implications for risk stratification and resource allocation for patients, clinicians, and health systems.

The impact of anti-tumor approaches on the outcomes of cancer patients with COVID-19: a meta-analysis based on 52 cohorts incorporating 9231 participants

Qing Wu et al.

Summary: Anti-tumor therapy, especially chemotherapy, increases the risk of severe disease and death for cancer patients with COVID-19. Surgery also increases the risk of death, while targeted therapy increases the incidence of severe COVID-19. Factors such as age, gender, hypertension, COPD, smoking, and lung cancer are potential prognostic factors for death and severe disease in cancer patients with COVID-19.

Nordic responses to Covid-19: Governance and policy measures in the early phases of the pandemic

Ingrid Sperre Saunes et al.

Summary: This paper explores and compares health system responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The findings suggest differences in implementation and outcomes despite similar policy measures adopted by these countries. Factors such as migrant populations and working conditions may play a role in the variations in outcomes. Additionally, the paper highlights the potential impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on legislation and governance principles in the Nordic countries.

Outcomes of the SARS-CoV-2 omicron (B.1.1.529) variant outbreak among vaccinated and unvaccinated patients with cancer in Europe: results from the retrospective, multicentre, OnCovid registry study

David J. Pinato et al.

Summary: During the omicron outbreak, COVID-19 outcomes in cancer patients in Europe improved compared to the prevaccination period and the alpha-delta waves. However, unvaccinated cancer patients remained highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, our findings support universal vaccination of cancer patients as a protective measure against COVID-19 morbidity and mortality.

Predictors of hospitalisation and death due to SARS-CoV-2 infection in Finland: A population-based register study with implications to vaccinations

Heini Salo et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of age and underlying medical conditions on the risk of severe outcomes following SARS-CoV-2 infection and how to prioritize vaccinations against COVID-19 accordingly. The results showed that age and various comorbidities were predictors of severe COVID-19. Vaccine prioritization should take into account both the risk of infection and the risk of severe outcomes if infected.

Age-specific associations between underlying health conditions and hospitalisation, death and in-hospital death among confirmed COVID-19 cases: a multi-country study based on surveillance data, June to December 2020

Tjede Funk et al.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate age-specific associations between underlying conditions and severe COVID-19 outcomes. The findings showed that certain underlying conditions, such as cancer, cardiac disorder, diabetes, immunodeficiency, kidney, liver and lung disease, neurological disorders, and obesity, were associated with an increased risk of hospitalization and death. The risk decreased with increasing age, but for some conditions, the predicted probabilities were higher in younger individuals with the condition compared to older cases without it. The results could inform a more nuanced approach to vaccine prioritization based on age and underlying conditions.

Summary: The study found that solid cancer patients exposed to SARS-CoV-2 exhibit immune signatures similar to COVID-19 patients, while hematological cancer patients show more complex immune responses that may affect treatment and recovery. Recovery from SARS-CoV-2 infection leaves distinct immunological legacies in hematological cancer patients.

COVID-19 in Cancer Patients, Risk Factors for Disease and Adverse Outcome, a Population-Based Study From Norway

Tom Borge Johannesen et al.

Summary: In this study, researchers aimed to identify factors associated with higher risk of COVID-19 and adverse outcomes among cancer patients. The study found that cancer patients had similar age-adjusted rates of COVID-19 as the general population. Patients who had undergone major surgery within the past 3 months had an increased risk of COVID-19, but no increased risk was found for other oncological treatment modalities. Patients with distant metastases had a significantly increased risk of death due to COVID-19.

Association of clinical factors and recent anticancer therapy with COVID-19 severity among patients with cancer: a report from the COVID-19 and Cancer Consortium

P. Grivas et al.

Summary: This study analyzed clinical factors and laboratory measurements of cancer patients with COVID-19, finding that factors such as age, sex, comorbidities, cancer type, and laboratory results were associated with COVID-19 severity. Patients diagnosed early in the pandemic had worse outcomes, and specific anticancer therapies may increase 30-day all-cause mortality. More research is needed to confirm these findings and caution may be needed in using certain anticancer treatments.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of active oncologic treatment on COVID-19 outcomes in cancer patients. The results suggest that active chemotherapy is associated with a higher risk of death, while other treatment modalities did not show significant associations. Further research is needed to understand the complex interactions between active cancer treatment and COVID-19.
