Univariable and multivariable analysis for overall mortality.
| Univariable | Multivariable | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variables | HR (95% CI) | p-Value | HR (95% CI) | p-Value |
| Immunosuppression used | 0.42 (0.18–0.99) | 0.049 | 0.45 (0.19–1.10) | 0.078 |
| tMCS * used before durable MCS | 0.58 (0.23–1.45) | 0.246 | 0.68 (0.27–1.75) | 0.429 |
* Includes VA-ECMO, IABP, Impella, and temporary VAD, compared to use of durable MCS alone. Abbreviations—HR: hazard ratio, CI: confidence interval, tMCS: temporary MCS, MCS: mechanical circulatory support, VA-ECMO: venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, IABP: intra-aortic balloon pump, VAD: ventricular assist device.
