Table comparing patients with hospital survival to those with the two most dominant causes of death in ECPR death following severe cerebral damage and death by uncontrollable shock. Data given in mean ± standard deviation or number of patients (percentage). p-values are calculated either between all three groups or only comparing patients who died. Abbreviations: OHCA—out of hospital cardiac arrest; SAPS—Simplified Acute Physiology Score; SAVE—Survival after Veno-Arterial ECMO; SOFA—Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment score; NSE—Neuron Specific Enolase.
