The objective was to assess prognostic factors associated with mortality in ICU cancer patients requiring MV after HFNC failure, and to identify predictive factors of intubation.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We conducted a retrospective study from 2012\u20132016 in a cancer referral center. All consecutive onco-hematology adult patients admitted to the ICU treated with HFNC were included. HFNC failure was defined by intubation requirement.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>202 patients were included, 104 successfully treated with HFNC and 98 requiring intubation. ICU and hospital mortality rates were 26.2% (n = 53) and 42.1% (n = 85) respectively, and 53.1% (n = 52) and 68.4% (n = 67) in patients requiring MV. Multivariate analysis identified 4 prognostic factors of hospital mortality after HFNC failure: complete\/partial remission (OR = 0.2, 95%CI = 0.04\u20130.98, p&lt;0.001) compared to patients with refractory\/relapse disease (OR = 3.73, 95%CI = 1.08\u201312.86), intubation after day 3 (OR = 7.78, 95%CI = 1.44\u201341.96), number of pulmonary quadrants involved on chest X-ray (OR = 1.93, 95%CI = 1.14\u20133.26, p = 0.01) and SAPSII at ICU admission (OR = 1.06, 95%CI = 1\u20131.12, p = 0.019). Predictive factors of intubation were the absence of sepsis (sHR = 0.32, 95%CI = 0.12\u20130.74, p = 0.0087), Sp02&lt;95% 15 minutes after HFNC initiation (sHR = 2.05, 95%CI = 1.32\u20133.18, p = 0.0014), number of quadrants on X-ray (sHR = 1.73, 95%CI = 1.46\u20132.06, p&lt;0.001), Fi02&gt;60% at HFNC initiation (sHR = 3.12, 95%CI = 2.06\u20134.74, p&lt;0.001) and SAPSII at ICU admission (sHR = 1.03, 95%CI = 1.02\u20131.05, p&lt;0.01).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Duration of HFNC may be predictive of an excess mortality in ARF cancer patients.
