Data are displayed as n (%) or median (IQR). N is the total number of patients with available data. ECMO, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; IQR, interquartile range; MV, mechanical ventilation; SD, standard deviation. Differences in continuous variables were estimated using the Kruskal Wallis with post hoc Dunn´s test. Differences in categorical variables were calculated using the Fisher’s exact or the Chi-square test as appropriate.
