OBJECTIVE: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adults with @entity1576 and @entity295 is steadily increasing, but the knowledge on long-term survival in this group is scarce. The aim of the present study was to investigate the 5-year survival rates and causes of late @entity204 in this group of @entity1 . DESIGN: Single-center retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. @entity1 : Adult @entity1 treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for @entity1576 and @entity295 between the service being established for adults in 1995 and December 2013. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Survival status was attained from a national Causes of Death registry. Minimal @entity1 background data, along with data on survival and causes of @entity204 were collected. Survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Of 255 subjects, 64% survived to discharge. The median follow-up time in survivors was 4.4 years. There was a high mortality rate within the first months after discharge. In the group of @entity1 who survived the first 90 days after treatment, the 5-year survival rate was 87% and was particularly beneficial in @entity1 treated for @entity166 (88-100%). Late @entity204 were seen in most diagnostic groups, but the Kaplan-Meier curves flattened out over time. CONCLUSIONS: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment in adult @entity1 with @entity1576 and @entity295 can be lifesaving in appropriately selected @entity1 . For @entity1 who survive the first months after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment, long-term survival seems good, especially in @entity1 treated for @entity281 .
