Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
UMC Utrecht
Brief Summary

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is used as a last resort intervention in patients with severe cardiac, circulatory and/or respiratory failure with high (\>80%) expected mortality. Despite considerable improvements in patient selection and outcomes, mortality and morbidity after ECLS remain high. An improved selection and management of patients who are supported with ECLS is therefore unquestionably needed from a perspective of optimal patient care and the socio-economic impact of this costly intervention.

Detailed Description

This observational multicenter study was designed to serve the following objectives:

1. Develop a (dynamic) prediction tool for survival and quality of life outcomes 1 year after ECLS support for the situation at baseline and 7 days after ECLS initiation

2. Study the association between application of left ventricular unloading and ECLS support duration and weanability

3. Description of the incidence of VA ECLS weaning failure and identification of predictors for VA ECLS weaning failure

Under this umbrella research protocol, the data collected by this observational multicenter study can also be reused for potential novel substudies with the objective to improve the quality of care and the efficiency of current treatment strategies involving ECLS.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
MortalityIn-hospital mortality up to 30 days and through study completion, an average of 1 year.
Weaning successIn-hospital up to 30 days

30 day survival without left ventricular assist device, heart transplantation or short Term mechanical support

QoL1 year after admission

By the EuroQol EQ-5D, an instrument to measure health related quality of life. It assesses health in five domains; mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression, ranging from 1 to 3 in each domain (e.g. from 1 'I am not anxious or depressed' to 3 'I am extremely anxious or depressed' in the anxiety/depression domain) finding 243 unique health states. These health states can be converted into an index ranging from 0 (death) to 1 (perfect health)
