Abstract Objective: Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients who undergo cardiac surgery are at risk for poor outcomes, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
support (ECMO) and death. Prior studies have demonstrated risk factors for mortality, but have not fully examined risk factors for ECMO or death without ECMO
(DWE). We sought to identify risk factors for ECMO and DWE in adults undergoing
congenital heart surgery in tertiary care children’s hospitals.
Design: All adults (≥18 years) undergoing congenital heart surgery in the Pediatric
Health Information System (PHIS) database between 2003 and 2014 were included.
Patients were classified into three groups: ECMO‐free survival, requiring… More >
