Abstract
Predominant malignancies were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (13 patients, 21%), CLL (11 patients, 17%) and follicular lymphoma (10 patients, 16%). Patients who had been hospitalized due to COVID-19 (hospitalized patients) were compared to other patients according to their initial characteristics (Supplementary methods 2). In the international EPICOVIDEHA survey run during 2020 when wild-type SARS-CoV-2 was dominant, 29% of CLL patients and 56% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients had severe or critical infection and 28% and 30% died, respectively [[2]]. Since the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, patients with a history of cancer [[1]], especially those with hematological malignancies [[2]] were shown to be at high risk of severe COVID-19.
