Validation of the ‘Paediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Prediction’ Model in a UK Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Centre

This small single-centre study with a small number of events was unable to validate the paediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation prediction-model of risk-adjustment. Although this remains the most promising of all the available models, further validation in larger data sets and/or refinement may be required before widespread use.
