Outcomes and Predictors of 28-Day Mortality in Patients With Solid Tumors and Septic Shock Defined by Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock Criteria.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data assessing outcomes of patients with solid tumors demonstrating septic shock using the Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock are scarce.

Research question

What are the independent predictors of 28-day mortality in critically ill adults with solid tumors and septic shock?

Study design and methods

Cohort of solid tumor patients admitted to the ICU with septic shock. Demographic and clinical characteristics were gathered from the electronic health records. We developed a reduced multivariate logistics regression model to identify independent predictors of 28-day mortality and used Kaplan-Meier plots to assess survival.

Results

A total of 271 patients were included. The median age was 62 years (range, 19-94 years); 57.
