Authors' conclusion

The prognosis in AMI-CS was not affected by admission time with a similar effect of ECLS during on- and off-hours.

Further findings

OutcomeOR (95% CI)P value
30-day all-cause mortality, ECLS vs no ECLS, on-hours admission (subgroup) · 50.5% [n = 52/103] vs 50.9% [n = 57/112]0.98 (0.58–1.68)P = 0.95
30-day all-cause mortality, ECLS vs no ECLS, off-hours admission (subgroup) · 45.3% [n = 48/106] vs 46.9% [n = 45/96]0.94 (0.54–1.63)P = 0.82

Safety

Bleeding events with ECLS

ECLS associated with increased risk of bleeding, especially with on-hours admission
