a

Cancer COVID‐19 cohort vs COVID‐19 cohort.

b

Cancer COVID‐19 cohort vs cancer cohort.

c

As these patients were not necessarily hospitalized, their hospital mortality rate was calculated as when one deceased within the hospitalization time duration of their cancer COVID‐19 cohort match patient.
