Abstract

Background:Treatment of ALL pts can be associated with the life‐threating complications requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The long‐term outcomes of ALL pts after discharge from ICU is unknown.Aims:To compare the overall survival (OS) of de novo ALL pts who required and not required ICU admission during induction remission chemotherapy.Methods:All de novo ALL pts (median age 28 yo, 17–60 yo), treated from 2013 to 2017, were enrolled into the study. Pts were divided into 2 groups: pts required ICU admission (ICU group), and pts not required ICU admission (non‐ICU group). Landmark OS was assessed by the Kaplan – Meier method, log rank value p < 0.05 was considered as significant. Landmark was the date of discharge from ICU, and median time of discharge from ICU. Univariate analysis was performed with χ 2 tests or Fisher's exact tests for categorical variables to find an independent ICU mortality predictor.Results:In total, 87 ALL pts were enrolled into the study, 18 (20.6%) of them pts required ICU admission and 69 pts were treated without ICU. Reasons for ICU admissions were: acute respiratory failure (44%), acute neurological events (28%), tumor lysis syndrome (17%), septic shock (SS) (11%). Mechanical ventilation (MV) was required in 28% of pts, vasopressor support ‐ in 28% of pts, and renal replacement therapy ‐ in 22% of pts. ICU survival rate was 89% (2 pts died in ICU due to the SS). Needs for MV and for vasopressors were independent predictors of ICU mortality (p < 0.05). No one pts died in non‐ICU group during induction chemotherapy. Five year OS was 44% and 76% in ICU and non‐ICU group, respectively, (p < 0.05) (figure 1).Summary/Conclusion:Despite high ICU survival rate (89%), 5– years OS was only 44%. I non‐ICU group OS was 76% (p < 0.05). The long‐term prognosis of ALL pts discharged from ICU worse in comparison AML pts discharged from ICU [1,2]. This phenomenon it could be explained by negative selection of ALL pts in ICU.imageReference1. The influence of ICU admission of the patients with de novo AML on the long‐term survival.
