Table 4:

Multivariable model of in-hospital mortality

Variable Odds ratio (95% CI) P-value
Indication for ECMO <0.001
 eCPR 4.36 (2.23, 8.51)
 Cardiac 2.42 (1.46, 4.02)
 Respiratory Reference
Age 0.031
 Pre-term neonate 3.10 (1.52, 6.33)
 Full-term neonate Reference
 Infant 1.47 (0.87, 2.48)
 Child 1.11 (0.60, 2.07)
 Adolescent 1.44 (0.67, 3.07)
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia 3.11 (1.49, 6.49) 0.002
Meconium aspiration syndrome 0.18 (0.05, 0.63) 0.007
Baseline pH in arterial blood 0.22 (0.06, 0.80) 0.022
Partial thromboplastin time (increase of 10 seconds) 1.07 (1.00, 1.14) 0.048
International normalized ratio 1.45 (0.95, 2.23) 0.085
Documented blood infection prior to ECMO 5.26 (1.90, 14.57) 0.001

Estimated probability of mortality is p = ex/(1+ex), where x = 9.081 + 0.887[Indication = cardiac] + 1.468[Indication = eCPR] + 1.132[Age = pre-term neonate] + 0.378[Age = infant] + 0.109[Age = child] + 0.360[Age = adolescent] + 1.138[Congenital diaphragmatic hernia] - 1.710[Meconium aspiration syndrome] - 1.534[pH in arterial blood] + 0.0064[Partial thromboplastin time (seconds)] + 0.357[International normalized ratio] + 1.659[Documented blood infection] is the log odds of mortality from the multivariable model. Using leave-one-out cross validation to prevent small-sample bias, the area under the ROC curve is 0.75 (0.70, 0.80).
