Abstract:Background
QTc interval prolongation can result in potentially lethal arrhythmias. One risk factor is QTc-prolonging drugs, including some antifungals often used in hemato-oncology patients. Screening tools for patients at risk have not yet been investigated in this patient population.
Aim
Our aim was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of five QTc risk scores in hemato-oncology patients receiving systemic antifungal therapy.
