CytoSorb Therapy in COVID-19 (CTC) Patients Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Multicenter, Retrospective Registry.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: CytoSorb extracorporeal blood purification therapy received FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to suppress hyperinflammation in critically ill COVID-19 patients. The multicenter CTC Registry was established to systematically collect patient-level data, outcomes, and utilization patterns of CytoSorb under the EUA. Methods: Patient-level data was entered retrospectively at participating centers. The primary outcome of the registry was ICU mortality. Patient disposition of death, continuing ICU care, or ICU discharge was analyzed up to Day 90 after start of CytoSorb therapy. Demographics, comorbidities, COVID-19 medications, inflammatory biomarkers, and details on CytoSorb use were compared between survivors and non-survivors in the veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cohort. Results: Between April 2020 and April 2021, 52 patients received veno-venous ECMO plus CytoSorb therapy at 5 U.S. centers. ICU mortality was 17.3% (9/52) on day 30, 26.9% (14/52) on day 90, and 30.8% (16/52) at final follow-up of 153 days. Survivors had a trend toward lower baseline D-Dimer levels (2.3 ± 2.5 vs. 19.8 ± 32.2 μg/mL, p = 0.056) compared to non-survivors. A logistic regression analysis suggested a borderline association between baseline D-Dimer levels and mortality with a 32% increase in the risk of death per 1 μg/mL increase (p = 0.055). CytoSorb was well-tolerated without any device-related adverse events reported. Conclusions: CytoSorb therapy for critically ill COVID-19 patients on ECMO was associated with high survival rates suggesting potential therapeutic benefit. Elevated baseline D-Dimer levels may suggest increased risk of mortality. Prospective controlled studies are warranted to substantiate these results.

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to characterize continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) utilization on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and to determine the association of both fluid overload (FO) at CRRT initiation and fluid removal during CRRT with mortality in a large multicenter cohort.MethodsRetrospective chart review of all children < 18 years of age concurrently treated with ECMO and CRRT from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2011, at six tertiary care children's hospital. Children treated with hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis were excluded from the FO analysis.Measurements and main resultsA total of 756 of the 1009 children supported with ECMO during the study period had complete FO data. Of these, 357 (47.2%) received either CRRT or were treated with an in-line filter and thus entered into the final analysis. Survival to ECMO decannulation was 66.4% and survival to hospital discharge was 44.3%. CRRT initiation occurred at median of 1 day (IQR 0, 2) after ECMO initiation. Median FO at CRRT initiation was 20.1% (IQR 5, 40) and was significantly lower in ECMO survivors vs. non-survivors (15.3% vs. 30.5% p = 0.005) and in hospital survivors vs. non-survivors (13.5% vs. 25.9%, p = 0.004). Median FO at CRRT discontinuation was significantly lower in ECMO survivors (23% vs. 37.6% p = 0.002) and hospital survivors vs. non-survivors (22.6% vs. 36.1%, p = 0.002). In ECMO survivors, after adjusting for pH at CRRT initiation, non-renal complications, ECMO mode, support type, center, patient age and AKI, FO at CRRT initiation (p = 0.01), and FO at CRRT discontinuation (p = 0.0002) were independently associated with duration of ECMO. In a similar multivariable analysis, FO at CRRT initiation (adjusted adds ratio [aOR] 1.09, 95% CI 1.00-1.18, p = 0.045) and at CRRT discontinuation (aOR 1.11, 95% CI 1.03-1.19, p = 0.01) were independently associated with hospital mortality.ConclusionsIn a multicenter pediatric ECMO cohort, this study demonstrates that severe FO was very common at CRRT initiation. We found an independent association between the degree of FO at CRRT initiation with adverse outcomes including mortality and increased duration of ECMO support. The results suggest that intervening prior to the development of significant FO may be a clinical therapeutic target and warrants further evaluation.

Project description:Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a relevant technology for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or acute cardiac failure (ACF), is a frequent cause of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. During sepsis, HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations decrease, and an association between low lipoprotein levels and poor outcomes was reported. There are no data from patients undergoing ECMO. The goal of this study was to characterize the lipoprotein profiles of ICU patients requiring ECMO. All consecutive patients admitted for ARDS or ACF requiring ECMO were prospectively included. Daily lipoprotein levels and short-term prognosis outcome were assessed. 25 patients were included. On admission, lipoprotein concentrations were low, under the reference values ([HDL-C] = 0.6[0.4-0.8]mmol/L;[LDL-C] = 1.3[1.0-1.7]mmol/L). A statistically significant rise in lipoproteins overtime was observed during the ICU stay. We found no relationship between lipoproteins concentrations and mortality on Day-28 (p = 0.689 and p = 0.979, respectively). Comparison of surviving patients with non-surviving patients did not reveal any differences in lipoproteins concentrations. Stratification between septic and non-septic patients demonstrated that septic patients had lower lipoproteins concentrations on admission (HDL-C: 0.5[0.3-0.6]mmol/l vs 0.8[0.6-0.9]mmol/l, p = 0.003; LDL-C: 1.1[0.9-1.5]mmol/l vs 1.5[1.3-2.6]mmol/l; p = 0.012), whereas these two groups were comparable in terms of severity and outcomes. HDL-C concentrations during ICU hospitalization were also significantly lower in the septic group than in the non-septic group (p = 0.035). In conclusion, Lipoprotein concentrations are low in patients requiring ECMO but are not associated with poor outcomes. The subpopulation of septic patients had lower lipoprotein levels overtime, which reinforces the potential key-role of these particles during sepsis.

Project description:ObjectivesAlthough there is a substantial published experience of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during the H1N1 pandemic, less is known about the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patients with other subtypes of the influenza A virus. We hypothesized that the severity of illness and survival of patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation would differ for those with H1N1 influenza A compared with other subtypes of influenza A.Design setting patientsRetrospective study of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-supported adults (> 18 yr) with influenza A viral infection reported to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry between 2009 and 2019. We describe the frequency and compare characteristics and factors associated with in-hospital survival using a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis.Main outcomes and measuresOf 2,461 patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for influenza A, 445 had H1N1, and 2,004 had other subtypes of influenza A. H1N1 was the predominant subtype between 2009 and 2011. H1N1 patients were younger, with more severe illness at extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulation and higher reported extracorporeal membrane oxygenation complications than those with other influenza A subtypes. Patient characteristics including younger age and higher weight and patient management characteristics including longer ventilation duration before extracorporeal membrane oxygenation were associated with worse survival. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation complications were associated with reduced survival. There was no difference in survival to hospital discharge according to influenza subtype after adjusting for other characteristics.ConclusionsPatients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for H1N1 were younger, with more severe illness than those supported for other influenza A subtypes. Survival to hospital discharge was associated with patient characteristics, management characteristics, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation complications but was not impacted by the specific influenza A subtype.
