Table 2.

Demographics of fungal infections in ECMO patients, separated by timing of infection and fungal species. Fungal species are designated as Candida or non-Candida species. For each subgroup, the specific prevalence and associated patient mortality is shown. Univariate analysis of mortality between fungal species groups within each age group demonstrated no significant differences with p > 0.05.
