Pediatric sequential organ failure assessment for predicting outcomes in ECMO-bridged pediatric heart transplant recipients: experience from the largest pediatric heart transplant center in China
Continuous pSOFA monitoring effectively risk-stratifies ECMO-bridged pediatric transplant candidates, identifying high-risk patients after transplant. Planned ECMO initiation yields better outcomes than ECPR. These findings warrant prospective validation to optimize bridging strategies.
