Overall, 219 patients were included [138 (63%) men, median age 55 (IQR 44–64)]. Acute myeloid leukemia (30.1%) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (22.8%) were the most frequent malignancies, and 53 (24.2%) were allogeneic stem cell recipients. Day-1 SOFA score was 9 [
7‐
12]. Most patients presented with probable IPA, whereas 15 (7%) underwent lung biopsies or pleurocentesis and met criteria for proven IPA. Overall ICU and day-90 mortality were, respectively, 58.4% and 75.2% (80.4% if invasive mechanical ventilation) without any significant improvement over time. By multivariable analysis adjusted on day-1 SOFA score and ventilation strategies, voriconazole use (HR 0.49, CI 95 0.34–0.73,
p < 0.001) and an ICU admission after 2010 (HR 0.67, 0.45–0.99,
p = 0.042) were associated with increased survival, whereas a diffuse radiologic pattern (HR 2.07, CI 95 1.33–3.24,
p = 0.001) and delayed admission to the ICU (HR 1.51, CI 95 1.05–2.16,
p = 0.026) were independently associated with increased mortality.
