Hospital-Acquired Infection in Pediatric Subjects With Congenital Heart Disease Postcardiotomy Supported on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
To determine prevalence of and risk factors for infection in pediatric subjects with congenital heart disease status postcardiotomy supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, as well as outcomes of these subjects. ⋯ Neonatal and pediatric subjects in this study have a high rate of acquired infection. Infants and children were at higher infection risk compared with neonatal subjects. There was not, however, a significant association between extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-related infection and survival to hospital discharge after propensity matching.
