Outcomes and Prognostic Factors in Critical Patients with Hematologic Malignancies.

ABSTRACT: Patients with hematologic malignancies (HMs) have a significantly elevated risk of mortality compared to other cancer patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). The prognostic impact of numerous poor outcome indicators has changed, and research has yielded conflicting results. This study aims to determine the ICU and hospital outcomes and risk factors that predict the prognosis of critically ill patients with HMs. In this retrospective study, conducted at a referral hospital in Taiwan, 213 adult patients with HMs who were admitted to the medical ICU were evaluated.
