Abstract EN
Purpose.
To evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of critically ill patients with testicular cancer (TC) admitted to an oncological intensive care unit (ICU).
Methods.
This was a prospective observational study.
There were no interventions.
Results.
During the study period, 1,402 patients with TC were admitted to the Department of Oncology, and 60 patients (4.3%) were admitted to the ICU.
The most common histologic type was nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (55/91.7%).
The ICU, hospital, and 6-month mortality rates were 38.3%, 45%, and 63.3%, respectively.
The Cox multivariate analysis identified the white blood cells count (HR = 1.06, 95% CI = 1.01–1.11, and P=0.005), ionized calcium (iCa) level (HR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.01–1.50, and P=0.037), and 2 or more organ failures during the first 24 hours after ICU admission (HR = 3.86, 95% CI = 1.96–7.59, and P<0.001) as independent predictors of death for up to 6 months.
Conclusion.
The ICU, hospital, and 6-month mortality rates were 38.3%, 45%, and 63.3%, respectively.
The factors associated with an increased 6-month mortality rate were white blood cells count, iCa level, and 2 or more organ failures during the first 24 hours after ICU admission.
