Prognostic factors in critically ill patients with hematological malignancy admitted to the general intensive care unit: a single-center experience in Japan.

In critically ill patients with HM, the use of invasive mechanical ventilation, a high SOFA score within the first 24 h of ICU admission, and malignant lymphoma as primary HM affected short-term ICU outcome. Increased duration of ICU stay and SOFA score at ICU discharge influenced long-term outcome at 180 days after ICU discharge.
