This included 28 studies; mostly were in the intensive care unit settings and retrospective. The prognostic factors were categorised into 5 groups, mainly: demographics; interventions (eg: vasopressor support or mechanical ventilation), physiological complications (eg: bone marrow or multi-organ failure); disease characteristics; and laboratory blood values. Using the QUIPS tool, most studies were of moderate quality, three were high quality and one study was rated to be of low quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Composed by Elaine Boland.<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A systematic review of prognostic factors at the end of life for people with a hematological malignancy.
