In the case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), they are at high risk of poor prognosis. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the determinants of clinical course and mortality in COVID-19 patients with hematological disorders. Methods: Sixty-two hospitalized patients older than 18 years with documented COVID-19 and hematological disorders were included in the study. The clinical and laboratory data of the patients were recorded. Age, gender, overall follow-up time, duration of hospitalization, neutropenia, D-dimer levels, disease status, presence of underlying diseases, prior autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplant, immunosuppressive drug use, chemotherapy within 28 days, pneumonia, secondary bacterial infection, intubation, survival and mortality of the patients were evaluated. Results: Twenty-eigh...
