Risk Factors for the Mortality of Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in a Non-Centralized Setting: A Nationwide Study

This nationwide study in Korea explored the mortality risk factors for COVID-19 patients needing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) support across 19 hospitals from January 2020 to August 2021. Of 127 patients, 55.1% died within 90 days post-ECMO initiation. The study identified older age and the need for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) as significant mortality risk factors. The research underscores the critical impact of age and CRRT on COVID-19 patient outcomes with ECMO, highlighting the need for tailored management strategies in these high-risk groups.

The Effect of Surgery Started at Different Time Points During the Day on the Clinical Outcomes of Mitral Valve Surgery

This study investigates the impact of mitral valve surgery conducted at different times of the day (morning, afternoon, and evening) on short-term and long-term clinical outcomes. Across 947 patients from January 2018 to December 2020, divided into morning, afternoon, and evening groups based on surgery start time, results showed no significant differences in long-term mortality, stroke risk, reoperation rates, or in-hospital outcomes such as cardiopulmonary bypass time and ICU length of stay. The study concludes that mitral valve surgery is safe regardless of the time of day it is performed.
