Figures & data

Figure 1. Perceptions to COVID-19 vaccination in patients with lung cancer or pulmonary group glass opacity. (a) Panel of six Likert five-scale questions; (b) subgroup analysis based on willingness; (c) subgroup analysis based on diagnoses. The Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test tested differences between the groups.

Figure 2. Comparisons of score of vaccine misconception (SoVM) in patients with different characteristics. (a) Difference of SoVM between pulmonary GGO and lung cancer groups; (b) difference of SoVM between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups; (c) difference of SoVM among unvaccinated patients with different level of willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccines. Dotted lines in violin plots indicates the median and quartiles. Differences between the groups were compared by the Wilcoxon or Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test.
