Outcomes of Acute Respiratory Failure in Patients With Cancer in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the epidemiological effect-magnitude and outcomes of patients with cancer vs those without cancer who are hospitalized with acute respiratory failure (ARF).

Patients and methods

We reviewed hospitalizations within the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2018. Patients were classified based on a diagnosis of solid-organ cancer, hematologic cancer, or no cancer. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) failure was defined as patients who initially received NIPPV and had progression to invasive mechanical ventilation. Weighted samples were used to derive population estimates.

Results

During the study period, there were an estimated 8,837,209 admissions with ARF in the United States, 8.9% (783,
