Development and Validation of a Score to Predict Mortality in Children Undergoing ECMO for Respiratory Failure: Pediatric Pulmonary Rescue with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Prediction (P-PREP) Score

摘要

ObjectiveOur objective was to develop and validate a prognostic score for predicting mortality at time of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) initiation for children with respiratory failure. Pre-ECMO mortality prediction is important for determining center-specific risk-adjusted outcomes and counseling families.
