Evaluation of prognostic factors in febrile neutropenic patients with hematological malignancies

Objectives: Hematological malignancies presenting with febrile neutropenia constitute an important health issue all over the globe. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the prognostic factors of febrile neutropenic patients with hematological malignancies and to investigate the causes of mortality. Method: This research had a retrospective nature. A total of 174 febrile neutropenia patients ≥ 18 years of age hospitalized have been enrolled in the study. Patients enrolled in the analysis were determined according to the American Society for Infectious Diseases 2010 Febrile Neutropenia Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines. Accordingly, neutropenia was defined as an expected decrease in the absolute neutrophil count (ANS) to
