Cancer patients are particularly vulnerable to adverse outcomes from COVID\u201019 infection. The aim of this study is to determine adverse prognostic factors in Taiwanese cancer patients who contract COVID\u201019.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective cohort study reviewed the medical records of patients with cancer who were admitted for a COVID\u201019 infection to a tertiary medical center in Taipei from 2020 to 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The study endpoint was all\u2010cause mortality during hospitalization. Cox regression analyses using the stepwise selection method were used to determine factors associated with survival, which included patient demographic characteristics, medical history, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, presence of fever at admission, microbial culture results, vaccination status, cancer types, and laboratory metrics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Forty\u2010two patients were included in the analyses, of which 20 died.
