{"doi":"10.1111/petr.14570","title":"Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation bridge to pediatric lung transplantation: Modern era analysis","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Survival outcomes of children on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at time of lung transplant (LTx) remain unclear. METHODS: Pediatric first-time LTx recipients transplanted between January 2000 and December 2020 were identified in the United Network for Organ Sharing Registry to compare post-transplant survival according to ECMO support at time of transplant. For a comprehensive analysis of the data, univariate analysis, multivariable Cox regression, and propensity score matching were performed. RESULTS: During the study period, 954 children under 18 years of age underwent LTx with 40 patients on ECMO. We did not identify a post-LTx survival difference between patients receiving ECMO when compared to those that did not. A multivariable Cox regression model (Hazard ratio = 0.83; 95% confidence interval: 0.47, 1.45; p = .51) did not demonstrate an increased risk for death post-LTx. Lastly, a propensity score matching analysis, retaining 33 ECMO and 33 non-ECMO patients, further confirmed no post-LTx survival difference comparing ECMO to no ECMO cohorts (Hazard ratio = 0.98; 95% confidence interval: 0.48, 2.00; p = .96). CONCLUSIONS: In this contemporary cohort of children, the use of ECMO at the time of LTx did not negatively impact post-transplant survival.","journal":"Pediatric Transplantation","year":2023,"id":329463,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":19,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9153,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2023-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1052156,"name":"Huaiyu Zang","orcid":"0000-0001-8550-3827","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":482479,"name":"Nicholas J.
