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.
Background: To describe short-term outcomes and independent predictors of 28-dayx mortality in adult patients with hematologic malignancies and septic shock defined by the new Third International Consensus Definitions (Sepsis-3) criteria.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients admitted to the medical ICU with septic shock from April 2016 to March 2019. Demographic and clinical features and short-term outcomes were collected.
