Abstract

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 infection has a broad clinical spectrum, which can be categorized by its level of severity. Being an oncological patient is described in the literature as an important risk factor for more severe levels of the disease resulting from a state of immunosuppression. Objective: To compare demographic and clinical characteristics among cancer and non-cancer patients with COVID-19 in a referral hospital in the city of Belém, Pará. Method: Retrospective and quantitative study of analysis of medical records of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between April and July 2020. For data analysis, the relative risk was calculated with a 95% confidence interval and test t. Results: The sample consisted in 53, mostly females (31; 58.49%) ICU patients diagnosed with COVID-19. There was a predominance of the outcome death for the group of cancer patients (27; 81.8%), as well as a greater number of non-neoplastic comorbidities among cancer patients (19; 57.5%). Cancer patients had longer invasive ventilatory support, with a mean of ten days (13; 39.39%). Conclusion: There were differences in demographic characteristics and interventions performed among the groups investigated.
