Development and Validation of a Score to Predict Mortality in Children Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Respiratory Failure: Pediatric Pulmonary Rescue With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Prediction Score.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Our objective was to develop and validate a prognostic score for predicting mortality at the time of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation for children with respiratory failure. Preextracorporeal membrane oxygenation mortality prediction is important for determining center-specific risk-adjusted outcomes and counseling families. DESIGN:Multivariable logistic regression of a large international cohort of pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients. SETTING:Multi-institutional data. PATIENTS:Prognostic score development: A total of 4,352 children more than 7 days to less than 18 years old, with an initial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation run for respiratory failure reported to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization's data registry during 2001-2013 were used for derivation (70%) and validation (30%). Bidirectional stepwise logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with mortality. Retained variables were assigned a score based on the odds of mortality with higher scores indicating greater mortality. External validation was accomplished using 2,007 patients from the Pediatric Health Information System dataset. INTERVENTIONS:None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:The Pediatric Pulmonary Rescue with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Prediction score included mode of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; preextracorporeal membrane oxygenation mechanical ventilation more than 14 days; preextracorporeal membrane oxygenation severity of hypoxia; primary pulmonary diagnostic categories including, asthma, aspiration, respiratory syncytial virus, sepsis-induced respiratory failure, pertussis, and "other"; and preextracorporeal membrane oxygenation comorbid conditions of cardiac arrest, cancer, renal and liver dysfunction. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for internal and external validation datasets were 0.69 (95% CI, 0.67-0.71) and 0.66 (95% CI, 0.63-0.69). CONCLUSIONS:Pediatric Pulmonary Rescue with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Prediction is a validated tool for predicting in-hospital mortality among children with respiratory failure receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support.

Project description:BackgroundThe incidence of hemostatic complications in pediatric patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is high. The optimal anticoagulation strategy in children undergoing ECMO is unknown.ObjectivesTo study the association between hemostatic complications, coagulation tests, and clinical parameters in pediatric patients undergoing ECMO and their effect on survival.MethodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients undergoing centrifugal pump ECMO. Collected data included patient characteristics, risk factors, and coagulation test results. Statistical analysis was done using logistic regression analysis for repeated measurements. Dependent variables were thrombosis and bleeding, independent variables were rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and antifactor-Xa assay (aXa) results, ECMO duration, age <29 days, sepsis and surgery.ResultsSeventy-three patients with 623 ECMO days were included. Cumulative incidences of thrombosis and bleeding were 43.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 26.0%-59.8%) and 25.4% (95% CI, 13.4%-39.3%), respectively. A lower maximum clot firmness of intrinsic ROTEM (INTEM; odds ratio [OR], 0.946; 95% CI, 0.920-0.969), extrinsic ROTEM (OR, 0.945; 95% CI, 0.912-0.973), and INTEM with heparinase (OR, 0.936; 95% CI, 0.896-0.968); higher activated partial thromboplastin time aPTT; OR, 1.020; 95% CI, 1.006-1.024) and age <29 days (OR, 2.900; 95% CI, 1.282-6.694); surgery (OR, 4.426; 95% CI, 1.543-12.694); and longer ECMO duration (OR, 1.149; 95% CI, 1.022-1.292) significantly increased thrombotic risk. Surgery (OR, 2.698; 95% CI, 1.543-12.694) and age <29 days (OR 2.242, 95% CI 1.282-6.694) were significantly associated with major bleeding. Patients with hemostatic complications had significantly decreased survival to hospital discharge (P = .009).ConclusionThe results of this study help elucidate the role of ROTEM, aPTT, anti-factor Xa, and clinical risk factors in predicting hemostatic complications in pediatric patients undergoing ECMO.

Project description:BackgroundNeurologic injury is one of the most frequent causes of death in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). As neurological examination is often unreliable in sedated patients, additional neuromonitoring is needed. However, the value of electroencephalogram (EEG) in adult ECMO patients has not been well assessed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of electroencephalographic abnormalities in patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and their association with 3-month neurologic outcome.MethodsRetrospective analysis of all patients undergoing venous-venous (V-V) or venous-arterial (V-A) ECMO with a concomitant EEG recording (April 2009-December 2018), either recorded intermittently or continuously. EEG background was classified into four categories: mild/moderate encephalopathy (i.e., mostly defined by the presence of reactivity), severe encephalopathy (mostly defined by the absence of reactivity), burst-suppression (BS) and suppressed background. Epileptiform activity (i.e., ictal EEG pattern, sporadic epileptiform discharges or periodic discharges) and asymmetry were also reported. EEG findings were analyzed according to unfavorable neurological outcome (UO, defined as Glasgow Outcome Scale < 4) at 3 months after discharge.ResultsA total of 139 patients (54 [41-62] years; 60 (43%) male gender) out of 596 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO was used in 98 (71%); UO occurred in 99 (71%) patients. Continuous EEG was performed in 113 (81%) patients. The analysis of EEG background showed that 29 (21%) patients had severe encephalopathy, 4 (3%) had BS and 19 (14%) a suppressed background. In addition, 11 (8%) of patients had seizures or status epilepticus, 10 (7%) had generalized periodic discharges or lateralized periodic discharges, and 27 (19%) had asymmetry on EEG. In the multivariate analysis, the occurrence of ischemic stroke or intracranial hemorrhage (OR 4.57 [1.25-16.74]; p = 0.02) and a suppressed background (OR 10.08 [1.24-82.20]; p = 0.03) were independently associated with UO. After an adjustment for covariates, an increasing probability for UO was observed with more severe EEG background categories.ConclusionsIn adult patients treated with ECMO, EEG can identify patients with a high likelihood of poor outcome. In particular, suppressed background was independently associated with unfavorable neurological outcome.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To determine RBC transfusion practice and relationships between RBC transfusion volume and mortality in infants and children treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. DESIGN:Secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective observational study. SETTING:Eight pediatric institutions within the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development's Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network. PATIENTS:Patients age less than 19 years old treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation at a participating center. INTERVENTIONS:None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:Clinical data and target hemoglobin or hematocrit values (if set) were recorded daily by trained bedside extracorporeal membrane oxygenation specialists and research coordinators. Laboratory values, including hemoglobin and hematocrit, were recorded daily using the value obtained closest to 8:00 AM. RBC transfusion was recorded as total daily volume in mL/kg. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between RBC transfusion volume and hospital mortality, accounting for potential confounders. Average goal hematocrits varied across the cohort with a range of 27.5-41.3%. Overall, actual average daily hematocrit was 36.8%, and average RBC transfusion volume was 29.4?mL/kg/d (17.4-49.7?mL/kg/d) on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. On multivariable analysis, each additional 10?mL/kg/d of RBC transfusion volume was independently associated with a 9% increase in odds of hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 1.09 [1.02-1.16]; p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS:In this multicenter cohort of pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients, daily hematocrit levels were maintained at normal or near-normal values and RBC transfusion burden was high. RBC transfusion volume was independently associated with odds of mortality. Future clinical studies to identify optimum RBC transfusion thresholds for pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are urgently needed.
