Predictors of survival for pediatric extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has improved survival in patients with cardiac arrest; however, factors predicting survival remain poorly characterized. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to examine the predictors of survival of ECPR in pediatric patients.

Methods

We searched EMBASE, PubMed, SCOPUS, and the Cochrane Library from 2010 to 2021 for pediatric ECPR studies comparing survivors and non-survivors. Thirty outcomes were analyzed and classified into 5 categories: demographics, pre-ECPR laboratory measurements, pre-ECPR co-morbidities, intra-ECPR characteristics, and post-ECPR complications.

Results

Thirty studies (n = 3794) were included. Pooled survival to hospital discharge (SHD) was 44% (95% CI: 40%-4
