Özet

Objective: Patients with hematologic diseases can have increased life expectancy with newly developed chemotherapeutic agents, hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, and further supportive therapy. However, intensive therapies lead to more life-threatening complications that require intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Therefore, understanding the factors affecting mortality is important when accepting these patients to the ICU. This study was conducted to explore the factors affecting the mortality of patients admitted to medical ICUs with a diagnosis of hematologic disease.
