Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess in-hospital mortality with adjustments for sex, age, ethnicity, comorbidities, vaccination, and deprivation index. Secondary outcome measures were similarly adjusted for the specified variables. Cancer Research eBook Compilation of the top interviews, articles, and news in the last year.

Chronic pulmonary disease, malignant neoplasm, and hematologic and rheumatologic diseases were more common in immunocompromised patients, while diabetes, chronic cardiac disease, obesity, and hypertension were similar between the two groups.
