Hypoalbuminemia is associated with adverse outcomes in critically ill children with cancer
Hypoalbuminemia is associated with adverse outcomes in children with oncologic/hematologic disease. Particularly, SAL < 3 g/dL are associated with higher need for IMV and longer ICU duration. Future studies are required to investigate the impact of hypoalbuminemia in this population and whether correcting hypoalbuminemia improves outcomes.
