Women with cancer and COVID-19: an analysis of lethality and clinical aspects in Pernambuco

Abstract

In Page S159, Results, 8 th Paragraph,Where it reads: The crude and adjusted analysis of factors related to death identified the presence of peripheral O 2 saturation lower or equal to 95% as the only independent factor associated with death (OR = 0.21; CI95%= 0.04 -0.92; p = 0.039 (Tabela 4).Reading: The crude and adjusted analysis of factors related to death, identified the presence of peripheral O 2 saturation less than or equal to 95% as the only risk factor associated with death (OR = 5.73; CI95%= 1.12-20.08; p = 0.035). On the otherhand, the age groups, 19 years or younger, (OR = 0.07; CI95%= 0.00-1.01; p = 0.051) and 20 to 49 years old (OR = 0.27; CI95%= 0.07-1.04; p = 0.057) were identified as protective factors related to death (Table 4).In Page S159, Discussion, 2 nd Paragraph,Where it reads: The only independent factor associated with death was O 2 saturation lower or equal to 95%.Reading: The only independent factor associated with higher death risk was O 2 saturation less than or equal to 95%. Less than 50 years old was considered a protective factor for death.In Page S163, Discussion, 6 th Paragraph,Where it reads: The saturation of SpO 2 ≤ 95%, namely, was the only independent factor associated with death, after multivariate analysis, agreeing with the literature. 6 Reading: SpO 2 saturation ≤ 95%, inclusively was the only independent factor associated with death risk, after multivariable analysis, in accordance with the literature. 6 In Page S163, Discussion, 9 th Paragraph, Where it reads: Therefore, it is concluded that female patients, with cancer and infected by SARS-CoV-2 are particularly susceptible to death, independently of comorbidities or age, being peripheral O 2 saturation ≤ 95% the only independent factor associated with death in this group.Reading: Therefore, it concludes that female patients with cancer and infected with SARS-CoV-2 are particularly susceptible to death, regardless of the presence of comorbidities, with peripheral O 2 saturation ≤95% being the only independent factor associated with higher risk of death in this group. Less than 50 years old was considered a protective factor for death in this group of patients.
