Prognostic factors of mortality in patients with cancer infected with COVID-19: a systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many cases of infection and deaths worldwide. Patients with cancer are a high-risk group for COVID-19-related death. However, a systematic summary of the prognostic factors related to mortality in these patients is limited.

Methods and analysis

We will address the prognostic factors for mortality, including cohort studies of adult patients with cancer infected with COVID-19. We will search MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Central Libraries for data from December 2019 to the present day. The prognostic factors for mortality include general, cancer-related and clinical characteristics. We wi
