Risk factors for invasive fungal infections in adult patients with hematological malignancies and/or stem cell transplant: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Improving prevention and treatment strategies for invasive fungal infections (IFI) is essential to reduce associated morbidity and mortality. We performed a systematic review and meta-analyses to assess factors associated with IFI in adult patients with hematological malignancies and/or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We searched PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL and the grey literature from 01/01/2002 to 08/02/2024. Eligible studies were case-control or cohort studies including adult patients with hematological malignancies and/or HSCT and reporting risk factors for IFI. Adult patients with hematological malignancies and/or HSCT. Assessment of risk of bias. Risk of bias assessment was assessed independently using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklists for cohort studies
