[en] OBJECTIVES: A recent study from Germany found that survival after respiratory extracorporeal life support (ECLS) was lower among patients 10-20 years old than 20-30 years old. The objective of this study was to compare survival between teenage and young adult patients who receive respiratory ECLS. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry, an international prospective quality improvement database. PATIENTS: All patients ages 16-30 years cannulated for respiratory indications from 1990 to 2020 were included. Patients were divided into two groups, teens (16-19 yr old) and young adults (20-30 yr old). INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Primary outcome was survival to discharge. Variables were considered for the multivariate logistic regression model if there was both a statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) and a clinically meaningful absolute difference between the groups. A total of 5,751 patients were included, of whom 1,653 (29%) were teens and 4,098 (71%) were young adults. Survival to discharge was higher in young adults than teens, 69% versus 63% (p < 0.001). Severity of illness was higher among teens; however, survival within each stratum defined by Pao2/Fio2 ratio was higher in young adults than in teens. Use of venoarterial ECLS was higher in teens than in young adults, 15% versus 7%, respectively. Teens were more likely to receive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation and this therapy was associated with a longer time from admission to ECLS initiation. After adjusting for variables that differ significantly between the groups, the odds ratio for survival in young adults compared with teens was 1.14 (95% CI, 1.004-1.3). CONCLUSIONS: In this large multicenter retrospective study, mortality was higher in teens than in young adults who received respiratory ECLS. This difference persisted after adjusting for multiple variables and the mechanism underlying these findings remains unclear.
