Development and validation of the pediatric risk estimate score for children using extracorporeal respiratory support (Ped-RESCUERS).

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To develop and validate the Pediatric Risk Estimation Score for Children Using Extracorporeal Respiratory Support (Ped-RESCUERS). Ped-RESCUERS is designed to estimate the in-hospital mortality risk for children prior to receiving respiratory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. METHODS:This study used data from an international registry of patients aged 29 days to less than 18 years who received ECMO support from 2009 to 2014. We divided the registry into development and validation datasets by calendar date. Candidate variables were selected for model inclusion if the variable independently changed the mortality risk by at least 2 % in a Bayesian logistic regression model with in-hospital mortality as the outcome. We characterized the model's ability to discriminate mortality with the area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic. RESULTS:From 2009 to 2014, 2458 non-neonatal children received ECMO for respiratory support, with a mortality rate of 39.8 %. The development dataset contained 1611 children receiving ECMO support from 2009 to 2012. The model included the following variables: pre-ECMO pH, pre-ECMO arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide, hours of intubation prior to ECMO support, hours of admission at ECMO center prior to ECMO support, ventilator type, mean airway pressure, pre-ECMO use of milrinone, and a diagnosis of pertussis, asthma, bronchiolitis, or malignancy. The validation dataset included 438 children receiving ECMO support from 2013 to 2014. The Ped-RESCUERS model from the development dataset had an AUC of 0.690, and the validation dataset had an AUC of 0.634. CONCLUSIONS:Ped-RESCUERS provides a novel measure of pre-ECMO mortality risk. Future studies should seek external validation and improved discrimination of this mortality prediction tool.

Project description:ObjectiveOur 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.DesignMultivariable logistic regression of a large international cohort of pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients.SettingMulti-institutional data.PatientsPrognostic 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.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsThe 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).ConclusionsPediatric 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: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.

Project description:ObjectivesExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation has been used to support children who fail to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass after pediatric cardiac surgery, but little is known about outcomes. We aimed to describe epidemiology and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation factors associated with inhospital mortality in these patients.DesignRetrospective multicenter registry-based cohort study.SettingInternational pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation centers.PatientsChildren less than 18 years old supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass after cardiac surgery during 2000-2016 and reported to Extracorporeal Life Support Organization's registry.InterventionNone.Measurements and main resultsThe primary outcome measure was inhospital mortality. Cardiac surgical procedural complexity was assigned using risk adjustment in congenital heart surgery-1. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with the primary outcome. We included 2,322 patients, with a median age of 26 days (interquartile range, 7-159); 47% underwent complex surgical procedures (risk adjustment in congenital heart surgery 4-6 categories). Inhospital mortality was 55%. The multivariable model evaluating associations with inhospital mortality showed noncardiac congenital anomalies (odds ratio, 1.78; CI, 1.36-2.32), comorbidities (odds ratio, 1.59; CI, 1.30-1.94), preoperative cardiac arrest (odds ratio, 1.67; CI, 1.20-2.34), preoperative mechanical ventilation greater than 24 hours (odds ratio, 1.49; CI, 1.21-1.84), preoperative bicarbonate administration (odds ratio, 1.42; CI, 1.08-1.86), longer cardiopulmonary bypass time (> 251 min; odds ratio, 1.50; CI, 1.13-1.99), complex surgical procedures (odds ratio, 1.43; CI, 1.13-1.81), longer extracorporeal membrane oxygenation duration (> 104 hr, odds ratio, 1.54; CI, 1.17-2.02), and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation complications increased the odds of inhospital mortality. Age greater than 26 days (odds ratio, 0.56; CI, 0.42-0.75) reduced the odds of mortality.ConclusionsChildren supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass after cardiac surgery are at high risk of mortality (55%). Younger patients, those with congenital abnormalities and comorbidities, undergoing complex procedures, requiring longer cardiopulmonary bypass, and experiencing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation complications and longer extracorporeal membrane oxygenation duration have higher mortality risk. These data can help assessing prognosis in this high-risk population.
