Hazard Ratio of an Ischemic Stroke in Patients on VA ECMO with a FAR ≥ 125 When Compared with Those with a FAR < 125

Risk of Ischemic Stroke	Hazard Ratio	95% CI	p Value
Unadjusted	4.74	1.75–12.88	0.002
Adjusted model 1*	5.51	1.84–16.49	0.002
Adjusted model 2†	4.65	1.69–12.79	0.003

Model 1

^*: Adjusted for history of hypertension, atrial fibrillation, mean platelet volume, baseline creatinine, and hours on VA ECMO. Model 2

^†: Adjusted for age, indication for ECMO (grouped as postcardiotomy and non-postcardiotomy) and total ECMO duration in hours.

ECMO, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; FAR, fibrinogen albumin ratio; OHT, orthotopic heart transplant.
