Background: While several studies have reported on outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with single ventricle physiology, few studies have described outcomes of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in this unique population. The objective of this study was to determine survival and risk factors for mortality after ECPR in single ventricle patients prior to superior cavopulmonary anastomosis, using a large sample from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Registry.
Methods: We included single ventricle patients who underwent ECPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) between January 2012 and December 2021.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of antibiotics in treating pediatric pneumonia in children and adolescents, specifically comparing outcomes for those who received antibiotics versus those who did not.
- Data was collected from a multistate claims database for Medicaid-insured individuals under 17 years old who were diagnosed with pneumonia between 2017 and 2019, taking into account factors to minimize bias.
- Results showed that treatment failure rates were slightly higher in children who did not receive antibiotics (10.7%) compared to those who did (8.7%), although the difference was not clinically significant.
Objective: To describe characteristics associated with survival for pediatric patients with an oncologic diagnosis or hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Design: Multicenter, retrospective study.
Setting: Sixteen PICUs in the United States and Israel.
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that initial oral and intravenous (IV) antibiotics have similar efficacy in pediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), but further data are needed.
Objective: We determined the association between hospital-level initial oral antibiotic rates and outcomes in pediatric CAP.
Designs, Settings, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study included children hospitalized with CAP at 43 hospitals in the Pediatric Health Information System (2016-2022).
Objectives: A recent study from Germany found that survival after respiratory extracorporeal life support (ECLS) was lower among patients 10-20 years old than 20-30 years old. The objective of this study was to compare survival between teenage and young adult patients who receive respiratory ECLS.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
