Abstract
Covid-19 is an infection caused by the Sars-Cov-2 virus that causes mild respiratory symptoms and can affect more aggressively, especially patients who are part of risk groups, such as cancer patients. Currently, it is known that Covid-19 can leave sequelae that can affect the quality of life (QoL) of this group of patients. To evaluate the quality of life (QOL) and the occurrence of post-Covid-19 syndrome in cancer patients. This is a cross-sectional study that evaluated the quality of life on cancer patients who had and who did not have Covid-19 through the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. A logistic regression model was proposed to verify the influence of Covid-19 on QOL and the Weight of Evidence was used to verify the factors that influenced the QOL on individuals who had Covid-19. Cancer patients who had Covid-19 were 83,6% more likely to have lower quality of life scores. 60% of individuals who had Covid-19 had some symptom characterized as post-Covid-19 syndrome and for this group, the role performance scale was proven to be the variable with the greatest weight of evidence to explain the QOL outcome. Covid-19 infection may have an influence in the quality of life on cancer patients.
