Abstract

Purpose: To describe our population of primary brain tumor (PBT) patients, a subgroup of cancer patients whose intensive care unit (ICU) outcomes are understudied. Methods: Retrospective analysis of PBT patients admitted to an ICU between 2013 to 2018 for an unplanned need. Using descriptive analyses, we characterized our population and their outcomes. Results: Fifty-nine PBT patients were analyzed. ICU mortality was 19% (11/59). The most common indication for admission was seizures (n = 16, 27%). Conclusion: Our ICU mortality of PBT patients was comparable to other solid tumor patients and the general ICU population and better than patients with hematological malignancies. Further study of a larger population would inform guidelines for triaging PBT patients who would most benefit from ICU-level care.

美国重症监护病房收治的原发性脑肿瘤患者:描述性分析。

目的:描述我们的原发性脑肿瘤(PBT)患者群体，这是一组重症监护病房(ICU)预后研究不足的癌症患者。方法:回顾性分析2013年至2018年因计划外需求入住ICU的PBT患者。使用描述性分析，我们描述了我们的人口和他们的结果。结果:对59例PBT患者进行分析。ICU死亡率为19%(11/59)。最常见的入院指征是癫痫发作(n = 16.27%)。结论:PBT患者的ICU死亡率与其他实体瘤患者和普通ICU人群相当，优于血液系统恶性肿瘤患者。对更大的人群进行进一步的研究，将为鉴别哪些PBT患者最受益于icu级别的护理提供指导。
