^*χ² P < .0001 for differences between crude proportions by cancer status and by active status of cancer.

^**Adjusted proportions were calculated using SAS STDRATE with the direct standardization method. Age- and sex-specific proportions of deaths for 77,334 COVID-19 hospitalizations were used as the reference in the calculation of adjusted proportions by cancer status, and age- and sex-specific proportions of deaths for 10,210 COVID-19 hospitalizations with prior cancer were used as the reference in the calculation of adjusted proportions by active status of cancer. χ² P < .0001 comparing individuals with versus without prior diagnosis of cancer and comparing active and inactive cancer diagnoses.
