Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we aimed to evaluate the duration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its effect on outcomes. Also, we sought to identify hospital mortality predictors and determine when ECMO support began to be ineffective. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study conducted between January 2014 and January 2022. The prolonged ECMO (pECMO) cut-off point was accepted as 14 days. RESULTS Thirty-one (29.2%) of 106 patients followed up with ECMO had pECMO. The mean follow-up period of the patients who underwent pECMO was 22 (range, 15-72) days, and the mean age was 75 ± 72 months. According to the results of our heterogeneous study population, life expectancy decreased dramatically towards the 21st day. Hospital mortality predictors were determined in the logistic regression analysis in all ECMO groups in our study as high Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) two score, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) use, and sepsis. The pECMO mortality was 61.2% and the overall mortality was 53.0%, with the highest mortality rate in the bridge-to-transplant group (90.9%) because of lack of organ donation in our country. CONCLUSIONS In our study, the PELOD two score, presence of sepsis, and use of CRRT were found to be in the predictors of in-hospital ECMO mortality model. Considering the complications, in the COX regression model analysis, the factors affecting the probability of dying in patients followed under ECMO were found to be bleeding, thrombosis, and thrombocytopenia.

Abstract
The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) registry which collects data from hundreds of participating centers supports research in ECMO to help improve patient outcomes. The ELSO Scientific Oversight Committee, an international and diverse group of ECMOlogists ( https://www.elso.org/registry/socmembers.aspx ), selected the most impactful and innovative research articles on pediatric ECMO emerging from ELSO data. Here they present brief highlights of these publications.

Short-Term Mortality Among Pediatric Patients With Heart Diseases Undergoing Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Am Heart Assoc 2023; 12:e029571. [PMID: 38063152 PMCID: PMC10863771 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.029571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation serves as a crucial mechanical circulatory support for pediatric patients with severe heart diseases, but the mortality rate remains high. The objective of this study was to assess the short-term mortality in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for observational studies that evaluated the short-term mortality of pediatric patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. To estimate short-term mortality, we used random-effects meta-analysis. Furthermore, we conducted meta-regression and binomial regression analyses to investigate the risk factors associated with the outcome of interest. We systematically reviewed 28 eligible references encompassing a total of 1736 patients. The pooled analysis demonstrated a short-term mortality (defined as in-hospital or 30-day mortality) of 45.6% (95% CI, 38.7%-52.4%). We found a significant difference (P<0.001) in mortality rates between acute fulminant myocarditis and congenital heart disease, with acute fulminant myocarditis exhibiting a lower mortality rate. Our findings revealed a negative correlation between older age and weight and short-term mortality in patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Male sex, bleeding, renal damage, and central cannulation were associated with an increased risk of short-term mortality. CONCLUSIONS The short-term mortality among pediatric patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe heart diseases was 45.6%. Patients with acute fulminant myocarditis exhibited more favorable survival rates compared with those with congenital heart disease. Several risk factors, including male sex, bleeding, renal damage, and central cannulation contributed to an increased risk of short-term mortality. Conversely, older age and greater weight appeared to be protective factors.
