Two–year survival, mental, and motor outcomes after cardiac extracorporeal life support at less than five years of age

Open access

Abstract

Objective Comprehensive outcome assessment of children receiving cardiac extracorporeal life support. Methods From 2000 to 2004, 39 consecutive children (aged 1 day to 4.4 years) had cardiac extracorporeal life support. Neurodevelopmental follow-up of all survivors was performed more than 6 months after life support (aged 53 +/- 12 months). Developmental delay was defined as a score of less than 70 on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development II or Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. Predictor variables for mortality (at 2 years' follow-up) and delay were examined by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Indications for extracorporeal life support were progressive low cardiac output in 14 (36%), failed weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass in 13 (33%), cardiac arrest in 9 (23%), and hypoxia in 3 (8%). Cardiac anatomy was single ventricle in 16 (41%), biventricular in 21 (54%), and myocarditis in 2 (5%). Survival was 18 (46%) at hospital discharge and 16 (41%) at 2 years. In survivors, mental score was 73 +/- 16 (normal 100 +/- 15), and 8 (50%) had mental delay. Initiating extracorporeal life support during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and duration of this resuscitation were not associated with death or mental delay. On multivariable Cox regression, lactate on admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (hazard rate 1.13; 95% confidence intervals 1.08-1.27) and single ventricle anatomy (hazard rate 3.93; 95% confidence intervals 1.62-9.49) were associated with death at 2 years. Stepwise multiple regression found time for lactate to normalize on extracorporeal life support, highest inotrope score during 120 hours of life support, and chromosomal abnormality explained 76.7% of the variance in mental score. Conclusion Cardiac extracorporeal life support had a 41% 2-year survival. Potentially modifiable variables (time for lactate to normalize and highest inotrope score early during extracorporeal life support) explained 69% of mental score variance.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Progressive low cardiac output syndrome is the cause for 36% of post-operative extracorporeal life support cannulations, making it one of the most common indications for extracorporeal life support in the post-operative period.

    “Progressive LCOS is the cause for 36% of post-operative ECLS cannulations, making it one of the most common indications for ECLS in the post-operative period [28-32].”
  • Survival of pediatric patients who receive extracorporeal life support after cardiac surgery is approximately 41-49%.

    “Survival of pediatric patients who receive ECLS after cardiac surgery is approximately 41-49% [28-32].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
