Table 3 Univariate and multiple logistic regressions for having ECMO instituted in the first 48-h post-operative cardiac surgery

From: Predictors and outcomes of early post-operative veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation following infant cardiac surgery

  1. Data are given as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI)
  2. aTwo multiple regressions are shown: with inotrope score and lactate as continuous measures (model 1) and with inotrope score and lactate as dichotomous measures (model 2). Dialysis is not used in multiple regressions, as too few patients had dialysis
