Abstract

[...]mortality was significantly higher compared to the mortality rates by age reported by the Spanish Ministry of Health up to May 2020 (adjusted OR = 3.91 [95% CI 2.70–5.66], p < 0.001) (Fig. 2 and Additional file 1: SEE PDF] The inferior survival observed in patients with CLL and COVID-19 in our series seems to be similar to the data reported in other series of patients with hematologic malignancies, pointing to a patient population more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection [7]. The inflammatory parameters analyzed in our series corelated with COVID-19 outcome. [...]increased CRP and D-dimer predicted for a shorter survival, the latter maintaining its adverse prognostic impact in the multivariate analysis. [...]in our series and in agreement with Mato et al.
