BackgroundCovid-19 infection and cancer are associated with an increased risk of thrombotic events. The aim of our study is to analyze the cumulative incidence of thrombosis in oncological patients with Covid-19 and detect differences with the non-cancer Covid-19 population.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 1127 medical records of all admitted patients to ward of the Hospital Universitario Infanta Leonor (Madrid, Spain), including 86 patients with active cancer between March 5th, 2020 to May 3rd, 2020. We analyzed cumulative incidence of thrombosis and risk factors associated to the cancer patient's cohort.ResultsWe diagnosed 10 thrombotic events in 8 oncological patients with a cumulative incidence of 9.3%. A statistically significant association was found regarding thrombosis and history of obesity (p=0.009). No differences related to cumulative incidence of thrombosis between both groups were detected (9.8% vs 5.80%) in our hospital (p=0.25).ConclusionNo significant differences were observed in the cumulative incidence of thrombosis in the two study groups. The thrombotic effect of Covid-19 is not as evident in cancer patients and does not seem to be added to its prothrombotic activity.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.
