Note : Continuous data are presented as mean ± standard deviation;
categorical variables as number (percent).
Abbreviations: ACC, aortic cross clamp; CPB, cardiopulmonary bypass;
eGFR, estimated glomerular
filtration rate; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; VA-ECMO,
veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
aPC-ECMO score is based on the following risk factors:
age (60-69 tears, ≥70 years – points 2 or 4, respectively), female
gender (points 1), prior cardiac surgery (points 1), arterial lactate ≥6
mmol/L (points 2), aortic arch surgery (points 4), and preoperative
stroke/unconsciousness (points 5) [please see ref. 5].
