To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on disability insurance grants and related costs for workers with cancer.
This ecological time series study uses the inflection point regression model and the federal government's open-access dataset. We analyze the annual grant and cost rates of cancer-related disability insurance in Brazil (2010-2021).
In 2020, the number of disability insurance grants due to malignant neoplasms decreased by 62.26%, and the total annual cost decreased by 62.94% compared to those in 2019. All illnesses and injuries were reduced by 2.56% and 20.02%, respectively. Between 2010 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic has reversed the increasing trend in annual disability insurance granted due to cancer and its associated expenses to a stable trend.
The COVID-19 pandemic has harmed the provision of disability insurance for workers with cancer.

本生态时间序列研究使用拐点回归模型和联邦政府的开放获取数据集。我们分析了巴西（2010-2021 年）癌症相关残疾保险的年度授予率和费用率。
2020 年，恶性肿瘤导致的残疾保险金授予数量减少了 62.26%，与 2019 年相比，总年度费用减少了 62.94%。所有疾病和伤害分别减少了 2.56%和 20.02%。2010 年至 2021 年间，COVID-19 大流行扭转了因癌症而授予的年度残疾保险金及其相关费用的增长趋势，使其趋于稳定。
