Eligibility Criteria
This is a longitudinal multi-centre study on head and neck cancer patients (any age, sex, histology, stage, in active treatment as well as in clinical follow-up) who contract COVID-19. Information on clinical features, clinical course, management and outcomes will be collected for both, head and neck cancers and COVID-19 infection. Considering the limited data available about COVID-19 evolution, the sample size will be not anticipated. However, with about 150 centers and a median of 5 patients at every center, a sample size of 750 patients approximately can produce a confidence interval for the categorical estimate of +/-2%. Clinical data will be extracted from medical records of consecutive patients from November 1st, 2019 until January 31 2021.
You may qualify if:
- Any head and neck cancer patients (including salivary gland, thyroid, nasal and paranasal cancer with a COVID-19 diagnosis defined as any of the following:
- Laboratory confirmed \[Real Time - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) technique\] COVID-19.
- Suspected COVID-19 cases; diagnosed clinically based on symptoms (fever \>37.5°, decrease of oximeter saturation of at least 5 %, cough, diarrhoea, otitis, dysgeusia, anosmia, myalgia, arthralgia, conjunctivitis and rhinorrhea and exposure to confirmed COVID-19 positive case (laboratory confirmation).
- Clinically diagnosed cases; suspected cases with lung imaging features consistent with coronavirus pneumonia.
- Asymptomatic cases; diagnosed based on positive viral nucleic acid test results but without any COVID- 19 symptoms
