In this study, we aimed to investigate how COVID-19 affected cancer patients and whether this altered their survival outcomes. To do this, we examined data from a database of patients who have passed through our institution a retrospective cohort analysis. Of the 206 patients we included in the study from this database, 57 had at least one preexisting cancer. Cancer patients tended to be older than noncancer patients. Of the 185 discharged patients, cancer patients required longer hospital stays, but there was no difference in mortality. Disease complications and intensive care unit admission with obesity and active smoking put patients in our cohort at increased risk of death. To conclude, outcomes in COVID-19 patients appear to be driven by obesity as well as active smoking, with no difference in mortality between cancer and noncancer patients.
