A new machine learning algorithm to predict veno-arterial ECMO implantation after post-cardiotomy low cardiac output syndrome

Anaesth Crit Care Pain MedPublished Prognostic model development and external validation study

Authors' conclusion

We developed an explainable ensemble machine learning algorithm that could help clinicians predict the risk of deterioration and the need for VA-ECMO implantation in moderate to severe PC-LCOS patients.

Study context

Population
Patients with moderate to severe post-cardiotomy low cardiac output syndrome (vasoactive inotropic score (VIS) > 10 with impaired organ perfusion or need for mechanical circulatory support after cardiac surgery), two university hospitals in Paris, France
Participants
285 vs 190
Comparison
Development dataset vs External validation dataset
