ECMO: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; ECPR: extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation; PICU: pediatric intensive care unit; NICU: neonatal intensive care unit; CICU: cardiac intensive care unit; VA: venoarterial; VV: venovenous.

1

Results are based on univariable model(s).

2

The percentage of missing values is calculated out of the records with a non-missing value for the outcome of the associated model.

3

None is Vasoactive Inotropic Score (VIS) =0, low is VIS >0 and <20 and high is VIS ≥20.
