T cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (T-NHLs) are aggressive malignancies which have a high risk of life-threatening complications. However, their prognosis in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting has not yet been assessed. We conducted a study including 87 ICU patients either with newly diagnosed T-NHLs or those undergoing first-line therapy admitted between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2014. The primary subtypes were peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) (n = 41, 47%), anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) (n = 13, 15%), and adult T-leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL) (n = 11, 13%). Six in every ten patients had malignancy-related complications (haemophagocytic syndrome 37%, tumour lysis syndrome 18% and hypercalcaemia 9%), while infections accounted for one quarter of ICU admissions. Nine fungal infections were documented, including six invasive aspergillosis. Urgent chemotherapy was started in the ICU in 59% of the patients, and urgent surgery was required in 13%. ICU and day-90 mortality were 22% and 41%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that SOFA score at day 1, age, sepsis and haemophagocytic syndrome were independent predictors of day-90 mortality. Compared to 66 ICU-matched controls with non-Hodgkin B cell lymphomas, patients with T-NHLs had a similar ICU survival. Overall survival rates of patients with T cell NHLs and B cell NHLs were 20% and 46%, respectively (hazard ratio for death associated with T cell NHLs 2.00 [1.12-3.58]). Patients with T cell NHLs had a very poor long-term outcome. Although the high rate of short-term survival suggests that an ICU trial is a reasonable option for patients newly diagnosed for the malignancy, extended stay in the ICU or further readmission should be considered only for highly selected patients who respond to the haematological treatment.
