Hematological malignancies are usually life-limiting conditions. Limitations of care need to be decided early, based on acceptability to the patient, family, physician, and community. Inappropriate intensive care unit (ICU) admission is likely to result in significant physical, psychological, and economic burden. There is little published on the impact of non-acute preadmission disease factors on ICU outcomes in hematological malignancies.
