COVID-19 severity and mortality in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a joint study by ERIC, the European Research Initiative on CLL, and CLL Campus

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a disease of the elderly, characterized by immunodeficiency. Hence, patients with CLL might be considered more susceptible to severe complications from COVID-19. We undertook this retrospective international multicenter study to characterize the course of COVID-...

description Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a disease of the elderly, characterized by immunodeficiency. Hence, patients with CLL might be considered more susceptible to severe complications from COVID-19. We undertook this retrospective international multicenter study to characterize the course of COVID-19 in patients with CLL and identify potential predictors of outcome. Of 190 patients with CLL and confirmed COVID-19 diagnosed between 28/03/2020 and 22/05/2020, 151 (79%) presented with severe COVID-19 (need of oxygen and/or intensive care admission). Severe COVID-19 was associated with more advanced age (≥65 years) (odds ratio 3.72 [95% CI 1.79–7.71]). Only 60 patients (39.7%) with severe COVID-19 were receiving or had recent (≤12 months) treatment for CLL at the time of COVID-19 versus 30/39 (76.9%) patients with mild disease. Hospitalization rate for severe COVID-19 was lower ( p

lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a disease of the elderly, characterized by immunodeficiency. Hence, patients with CLL might be considered more susceptible to severe complications from COVID-19. We undertook this retrospective international multicenter study to characterize the course of COVID-19 in patients with CLL and identify potential predictors of outcome. Of 190 patients with CLL and confirmed COVID-19 diagnosed between 28/03/2020 and 22/05/2020, 151 (79%) presented with severe COVID-19 (need of oxygen and/or intensive care admission). Severe COVID-19 was associated with more advanced age (≥65 years) (odds ratio 3.72 [95% CI 1.79–7.71]). Only 60 patients (39.7%) with severe COVID-19 were receiving or had recent (≤12 months) treatment for CLL at the time of COVID-19 versus 30/39 (76.9%) patients with mild disease. Hospitalization rate for severe COVID-19 was lower ( p  &lt; 0.05) for patients on ibrutinib versus those on other regimens or off treatment. Of 151 patients with severe disease, 55 (36.4%) succumbed versus only 1/38 (2.6%) with mild disease; age and comorbidities did not impact on mortality. In CLL, (1) COVID-19 severity increases with age; (2) antileukemic treatment (particularly BTK inhibitors) appears to exert a protective effect; (3) age and comorbidities did not impact on mortality, alluding to a relevant role of CLL and immunodeficiency.</abstract><cop>London</cop><pub>Nature Publishing Group UK</pub><pmid>32647324</pmid><doi>10.1038/s41375-020-0959-x</doi><tpages>10</tpages><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5021-3026</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5630-9862</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1269-6282</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7615-0572</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4550-757X</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3750-7342</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1475-5143</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1200-379X</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9880-5242</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1222-6149</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9615-9432</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8197-9895</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3739-7502</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8993-5982</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9337-1833</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9891-2988</orcidid><oa>free_for_read</oa></addata></record>
