Brief summary

Oncology and Haematology patients are at increased risk to be admitted to the ICU during the course of their treatment, especially when they present with an advanced or aggressive disease. Unfortunately there is high mortality rate among this cohort of patients. There are many factors that may play a crucial role such as presence of organ failure, intubation status, oxygen saturation and compromise to the cardiovascular system. It is important to study all these factors as well as other factors such as underlying disease and disease status in order to predict patient outcome. There are paucity of data in this regard and therefore it highlights the importance of this audit in our hospital.
