%X <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>Our objectives were to describe the use of thromboprophylaxis and the incidence of VTE/bleeding in critically ill patients with hematologic malignancies (HM).<BR><B>METHODS: </B>Retrospective cohort study (2014-2022).<BR><B>METHODS: </B>Medic-Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in a tertiary care academic center.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>Adult patients admitted to ICU with a concomitant diagnosis of a hematological malignancy.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>None.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>We analyzed demographic data, use of thromboprophylaxis and secondary outcomes that included incidence of VTE (venous thromboembolism), bleeding, mortality, severity scores and organ support. We applied a multivariable logistic regression model to examine the risk of thrombosis in the ICU.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>We included 862 ICU admissions (813 unique patients). Thromboprophylaxis was given during 65% of admissions (LMWH 14%, UFH 8%, and SCDs 43%); in 21% it was contraindicated due to thrombocytopenia; 14% of cases lacked documentation on prophylaxis. There were 38 unique incident cases of VTE (27 DVT, 11 PE), constituting 4.4% of ICU episodes. Most of VTE cases happened in patients with various degrees of thrombocytopenia. In the multivariable analysis, SOFA score on the first ICU day was independently associated (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.76-0.96) with the risk of VTE. Bleeding occurred in 7.2% (minor) and 14.4% (major) of episodes; most frequent sites being CNS, abdomen/GI and pulmonary.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>In this cohort of critically ill patients with HM, there was considerable variability in the utilization of DVT prophylaxis, with predominant use of SCDs. The incidence of VTE was 4.4% and major bleeding 14%.<BR><B>BACKGROUND: </B>NCT05396157.
