PG - 891-898 LID - 10.1097/MAT.0000000000001333 [doi] AB - Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) score is associated with short-term mortality in various conditions but has not been studied in postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCS) patients supported with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between DIC score at day 1 from VA-ECMO initiation and short-term mortality. We included all PCS patients supported with VA-ECMO at the Beijing Anzhen Hospital between January 2015 and December 2018. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between DIC score at day 1 and in-hospital mortality, and adjust for potential confounding variables. Of 222 PCS patients treated with VA-ECMO, 145 (65%) patients were weaned from VA-ECMO, and median (IQR) ECMO support duration was five (3-6) days. In-hospital mortality was 53%. The median (IQR) DIC score at day 1 was five (4-6). Patients with DIC score >/=5 at day 1 (overt DIC) had higher in-hospital mortality as compared with patients with DIC score <5 (64% vs. 22%; P < 0.001). After adjusting for age, sex, ECMO indication, and peak serum lactate, a one-point rise in DIC score [OR, 2.20; 95% confidence intervals (CI), 1.64-2.95] or DIC score >/=5 at day 1 (OR, 4.98; 95% CI, 2.42-10.24) was associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for DIC score at day 1 was 0.76 (95% CI, 0.69-0.82). Our study suggests that DIC score at day 1 is associated with short-term mortality in patients undergoing VA-ECMO after cardiac surgery, independent of age, sex, disease characteristics, and severity of illness.
