Epidemiology of ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke in venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) provides lifesaving support for cardiopulmonary failure, complications may increase mortality, with few studies focusing on ischemic/hemorrhagic stroke. We aimed to determine the trends and associations of stroke incidence and mortality, and their risk factors, including the effects of annual case volumes of ECMO centers.

Methods

Retrospective analysis was performed on the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) registry, including adult V-A ECMO patients from 534 international centers between 2012 and 2021, excluding extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Temporal trend analyses were performed for stroke incidence and mortality. Univariate testing, multivariable regression, and survi
