Abstract:
In patients with hematologic malignancies, respiratory status may deteriorate during neutropenia recovery. This multicenter, observational study aims to evaluate granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) impact on respiratory status in critically ill neutropenic patients. Among 1011 critically ill patients with hematologic malignancies, 288 were neutropenic and included in this study. 201 (70%) did not receive G-CSF at day 1 or 2. After propensity score matching for the probability of receiving G-CSF at day 1 or 2, there was no association between G-CSF and respiratory deterioration at day 14 (OR =1.19; 95%CI (0.57-2.51); p = .64). Additional sensitivity analysis in patients admitted for acute respiratory failure showed similar results (OR =1.34; 95%CI (0.5-3.59); p = .57). Among patients who recovered from neutropenia, 75% experienced respiratory deterioration during neutropenia recovery. This study confirms that neutropenia recovery is a situation at risk of respiratory deterioration. However, whether G-CSF is an aggravating factor cannot be supported by our results.

Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the...
