Article Synopsis
- - This study examines how COVID-19 affects cancer patients' risk of death within 30 days of hospitalization, finding that specific types of cancer significantly elevate this risk.
- - Among 51,544 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, 976 had cancer; solid cancers had a particularly high mortality rate of 25%.
- - The research emphasizes the importance of tailored monitoring and treatment for COVID-19 patients with cancer, especially during the first 10 days of hospitalization, as this is when the risk of severe outcomes is greatest.
Calculation of sample size is an essential part of research study design since it affects the reliability and feasibility of the research study. In this article, we look at the principles of sample size calculation for different types of research studies.

Introduction: WHO SEAR countries represent 8.6% of the world's population, and 75% of all deaths in this region are attributable to non-communicable diseases.
In the absence of sufficient testing capacity for COVID-19, a substantial number of infecteds are expected to remain undetected. Since the undetected cases are not quarantined, they can be expected to transmit the infection at a much higher rate than their quarantined counterparts. That is, in the absence of extensive random testing, the actual prevalence and incidence of the SARS-CoV-2 infection can be significantly higher than that being reported.
