Outcomes of Elderly Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) are the hematological malignancies with the highest need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission due to their association with various life-threatening situations. Limited data exist regarding the outcomes of elderly individuals with AML admitted to the ICU. However, current therapeutic protocols offer the potential for extended survival in this population. This retrospective, monocentric study focused on the outcomes of individuals aged ≥ 60 years admitted to the ICU for newly diagnosed AML. It included 139 patients admitted to the ICU at the Paoli-Calmettes Institute between April 2010 and October 2020, during the initial phase of AML management. Patients were categorized into three groups based on the presence of biological criteria indicating "high risk"
