Abstract
Background: Hematooncology patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) are at high risk for mortality due to the severity of their critical illness. Such complications can develop into complex clinical management, thus signaling an urgent need to identify mortality-related factors to improve interventions and outcomes for these patients.
Methods: A systematic review of studies published between 2012 and 2023 in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted, following the PRISMA guidelines. A meta-analysis was carried out to determine the significance of mortality-related factors.
Results: In a review of twenty-four studies, it was found that invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) was associated with an odds ratio (OR) between 2.70 and 8.26 in 75% of the studies. The use of vasopressor support had an OR of 6.28 in 50% of the studies, while pulmonary involvement by tumor had an OR of 6.73 in 30% of the studies. Sepsis showed an OR of 5.06 in 60% of the studies, and neutropenia upon admission increased mortality in 40% of the studies. Severe respiratory failure (PaO2/FiO2 < 150) had an OR of 7.69 in 55% of the studies. Additionally, ICU readmission and late admission were identified as risk factors for increased mortality.
Conclusions: Mortality among hematooncology ICU patients is associated with IMV, vasopressor support, pulmonary involvement, sepsis, neutropenia, severe respiratory failure, ICU readmission, and late admission. Identifying and managing these factors in a timely manner can improve survival and the quality of care.
期刊介绍:
Current Oncology is a peer-reviewed, Canadian-based and internationally respected journal. Current Oncology represents a multidisciplinary medium encompassing health care workers in the field of cancer therapy in Canada to report upon and to review progress in the management of this disease.
We encourage submissions from all fields of cancer medicine, including radiation oncology, surgical oncology, medical oncology, pediatric oncology, pathology, and cancer rehabilitation and survivorship. Articles published in the journal typically contain information that is relevant directly to clinical oncology practice, and have clear potential for application to the current or future practice of cancer medicine.
