Official Title: Epidemiological Characteristics and Prognosis Factors of Cancer Patients Admitted at French Emergency Departments
Study ID: NCT03393260
Brief Summary: Patients with cancer or hematological malignancy are susceptible to present acute complications linked to their disease or to their specific treatments (dyspnea, sepsis, coma, hemorrhagic syndrome). Emergency physicians are in first line when these complications arise and have to face with some complex situations in which informations about patient malignancy or prognosis may be lacking. Nowadays, there is very few epidemiological data published concerning how cancer patient use Emergency Departments (EDs) and cancer patient care delivery in the EDs. Thus, an observational multicenter prospective cross-sectional study is conducted to study the prevalence of cancer patients admitted to French EDs, and to describe the different reasons for cancer patients to seek care in EDs with their prevalence and underscore those linked to cancer or treatment complication
