Association between PT, PT-INR, and in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with tumors: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Prothrombin time (PT) and PT-INR are independent predictors of mortality in patients with cancer. The PT and PT-INR of cancer patients are independent predictive variables of mortality. However, whether the PT or PT-INR is related to in-hospital mortality in severely ill patients with tumors remains unknown.

Design

This was a case-control study based on a multicenter public database.

Settings
