COVID-19 Infection in a Lung Cancer Patient Population: Incidence, Presentation and Alternative Diagnostic Considerations	2020-11-12		.txt	text/plain	4113	206	44	Methods To determine an at-risk population for COVID-19, we retrospectively identified lung cancer patients receiving longitudinal care within a single institution in the 12 months (4/1/19 – 3/31/20) immediately preceding the COVID-19 pandemic, including an "active therapy population" treated within the last 60 days of this period. Rates of hospitalization and mortality amongst patients J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f who received any versus no systemic therapy or radiation for lung cancer within 30 days of COVID-19 positivity were compared using Fisher's exact test. Hospitalization rates and mortality were slightly higher among COVID-19-positive patients on active therapy within the preceding 30 days, but this was not statistically significant (Supplemental Table 3 In this study, we retrospectively estimated the incidence of COVID-19 among a thoracic oncology population within a tertiary academic medical center in one of the early epicenters in the United States.	./cache/cord-328214-2azb8789.txt	./txt/cord-328214-2azb8789.txt
