Risk factors for mortality in patients admitted to intensive care with haematological malignancy

Study	Factors identified that are associated with hospital mortality
Owzcuk and colleagues [16]	High SAPS II, SOFA score or APACHE II score, neutropaenia, hypotension, cardiovascular failure
Yau and colleagues [9]	Progression of underlying malignancy
Massion and colleagues [11]	Respiratory failure, fungal infection, number of organ failures, haemopoeitic stem cell transplant status
Benoit and colleagues [32]	Leukopaenia, use of vasopressors, urea >0.75 g/l
Gordon and colleagues [6]	Hepatic failure, central nervous system failure, SAPS II score >66
Lim and colleagues [39]	Raised bilirubin, inotropic support, more than three organ failures
Lloyd-Thomas and colleagues [8]	High APACHE II score, number of organ failures, mechanical ventilation
Brunet and colleagues [10]	SAPS II score, more than one organ failure
Kroschinsky and colleagues [14]	Haemofiltration, high SAPS II score
Silfvast and colleagues [50]	Maximal SOFA score on admission
Cornet and colleagues [17]	SAPS II and SOFA score over 96 hours
Lamia and colleagues [12]	Severe sepsis or septic shock, vasopressor use, invasive ventilation, neutropaenia, allogeneic haemopoeitic stem cell transplant, high SAPS II, SOFA score, ODIN score or LODS score
Bianchi and colleagues [41]	Mechanical ventilation, neutropaenia, renal failure

APACHE II: Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II; LODS: Logistic Organ Dysfunction Score; ODIN: Organ Dysfunction and/or Infection score; SAPS II: Simplified Acute Physiology Score II; SOFA: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment.
