Development of the Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Prediction Model for Risk-Adjusting Mortality

Objectives: To develop a prognostic model for predicting mortality at time of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation for children which is important for determining center-specific risk-adjusted outcomes. Design: Multivariable logistic regression using a large national cohort of pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients. Setting: The ICUs of the eight tertiary care children’s hospitals of the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network. Patients: Five-hundred fourteen children (
