Factors associated with cancer treatment resumption after ICU stay in patients with solid tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-intensive care syndrome could be responsible for inability to receive proper cancer treatment after ICU stay in patients with solid tumors (ST). Our purpose was to determine the factors associated with cancer treatment resumption and the impact of cancer treatment on the outcome of patients with ST after ICU stay.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective study including all patients with ST admitted to the ICU between 2014 and 2019 in a French University-affiliated Hospital.

Results

A total of 219 patients were included. Median SAPS II at ICU admission was 44.0 [IQR 32.8, 66.3]. Among the 136 patients who survived the ICU stay, 81 (59.6%) received cancer treatment after ICU discharge. There was an important increase in patients with poor performance status
