PG - 2376-2384 LID - S1053-0770(21)00978-2 [pii] LID - 10.1053/j.jvca.2021.11.012 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: Current guidelines consider obesity to be a relative contraindication to venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for refractory cardiogenic shock. The authors investigated the effect of body mass index (BMI) on clinical outcomes in patients treated with VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock. DESIGN: This was a retrospective and observational study. SETTING: University hospital. PARTICIPANTS: The study comprised 150 adult patients who underwent VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The primary outcome was intensive care unit (ICU) mortality. Of the 150 included patients, 10 were underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m(2)), 62 were normal weight (BMI = 18.5-24.9 kg/m(2)), 34 were overweight (BMI = 25.0-29.9 kg/m(2)), 34 were obese class I (BMI = 30.0-34.9 kg/m(2)), and 10 were obese class II (BMI = 35.0-39.9 kg/m(2)). All-cause ICU mortality was 62% (underweight, 70%; normal weight, 53%; overweight, 65%; class I obese, 71%; class II obese, 70%). After multivariate logistic regression, BMI was not associated with ICU mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.99 [0.92-1.07], p = 0.8). Analysis by BMI category showed unfavorable mortality trends in underweight patients (aOR 3.58 [0.82-19.6], p = 0.11) and class I obese patients (aOR 2.39 [0.95-6.38], p = 0.07). No statistically significant differences were found among BMI categories in the incidences of complications. CONCLUSION: The results suggested that BMI alone should not be considered an exclusion criterion for VA-ECMO. The unfavorable trend observed in underweight patients could be the result of malnutrition. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
