Short-term and long-term outcomes of critically ill patients with solid malignancy: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

With the global increase in patients with solid malignancies, it is helpful to understand the outcomes of intensive care unit (ICU) admission for these patients. This study evaluated the risk factors for ICU mortality and the shortand long-term outcomes in patients with solid malignancies who had unplanned ICU admission.

Results

Among the 955 patients, the ICU mortality rate was 23.5%. Lung cancer was the most common cancer type (34.2%) and was significantly associated with increased ICU mortality (odd ratio [OR] 1.58, p = 0.030). Higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores
