COVID-19 and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: A common susceptibility pattern?

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Design

Ecological study design.

Setting

Sardinia, Italy.

Participants

We used official reports on the total cases of COVID-19 in 2020, published data on NHL incidence, and socio-economic indicators by administrative unit, covering the whole regional population.

Main outcomes and measures

We used multivariable regression analysis to explore the association between the natural logarithm (ln) of the 2020 cumulative incidence of COVID-19 and the ln-transformed NHL incidence in 1974-2003, weighing by population size and adjusting by socioeconomic deprivation and other covariates.

Results

The cumulative incidence of COVID-19 increased in relation to p
