Predictors of thrombosis during VV ECMO: an analysis of 9809 patients from the ELSO registry.

ABSTRACT: Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a life-saving therapy for critically ill patients, but it carries an increased risk of thrombosis due to blood interacting with non-physiological surfaces. While the relationship between clinical variables and thrombosis remains unclear, our study aimed to identify which factors are most predictive of thrombosis. The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry was queried to obtain a cohort of VV-ECMO patients aged 18 years and older from 2015 to 2019. Patients who were over 80-years-old, at the extremes of weight, who received less than 24 h of ECMO, multiple rounds of ECMO, or had missing data were excluded. Multivariate logistic regression modeling was used to assess predictors of thrombosis and mortality. A total of 9809
