Table 3:
Hospital/ICU based characteristics stratified by PICU mortality. Data presented as number (percentage) or median (interquartile range). P values represent Chi-Squared or Fisher’s Exact between survivors and non survivors. ECMO= Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; HFOV= High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation.
