The Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Debate
Keyword(s):
To the Editor.— We are concerned about the statistical inferences, assumptions for comparisons, and arguments of logic implicit in the recent article on survival of infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension with ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation).1 The authors did acknowledge the difficulties of retrospective review, especially over 8 years when obstetrical and neonatal care should be improving. However, other details not reported on their patient population and classification might yield important information for this historical comparison.
