Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Outcomes in Children With Preexisting Neurologic Disorders or Neurofunctional Disability*

Conclusions: In this exploratory study using a multicenter pediatric ECMO registry, more than one third of children requiring ECMO support had pre-ECMO neurologic disorders or disability. However, pre-existing morbidities were not independently associated with mortality or unfavorable neurologic outcomes at hospital discharge after adjustment for diagnostic category and other covariates.
