A differential process mining analysis of COVID-19 management for cancer patients.During the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals faced a challenge to manage patients, especially those with other comorbidities and medical needs, such as cancer patients.  Here, we use Process Mining to analyze real-world therapeutic pathways in a cohort of 1182 cancer patients of the Lausanne University Hospital following COVID-19 infection.  We introduce a new tool, called Differential Process Mining, which enables comparison of two patient strata in each node of the tree, in terms of hits and death rate, together with a statistical significance test.  This study demonstrates the value of Process Mining to analyze complex event-based real-world data and generate hypotheses on hospital resource management or on clinical patient care.
