Determinants of Severity in Cancer Patients with COVID-19 Illness	2020-05-08		.txt	text/plain	2652	166	48	Population-based studies from China and Italy suggested a higher COVID-19 death rate in patients with cancer2,3, although there is a knowledge gap as to which aspects of cancer and its treatment confer risk of severe COVID-19 disease4. On multivariate analysis, age ≥ 65 years and treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) within 90 days were predictors for hospitalization and severe disease, while receipt of chemotherapy within 30 days and major surgery were not. Overall, COVID-19 illness is associated with higher rates of hospitalization and severe outcomes in patients with cancer. Overall, COVID-19 illness is associated with higher rates of hospitalization and severe outcomes in patients with cancer. In this study, we report on the epidemiology of COVID-19 illness experienced at our cancer center over the last month, during the height of incident cases in New York City, and offer an analysis of risk factors for severe infection that is pertinent to cancer patient populations.	./cache/cord-288070-qwax5tg9.txt	./txt/cord-288070-qwax5tg9.txt
