Interrater agreement in classifying infections during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
In conclusion, adjudication of infectious episodes during ECMO is associated with poor interrater agreement regarding occurrence-but not site-of infection. This finding might partially explain the significant disparities observed in reported infection rates during ECMO, emphasizing the need for caution when interpreting infection data in this particular population due to the potential for inherent measurement error.PMID:37596944 | DOI:10.1177/03913988231193448
