ECMOQoL: Evaluation of Long-term Quality of Life in Children Reanimated by ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The main objective of this prospective transversal comparative study is to describe the quality of life of children supported by ECMO. These patients are described in detail at the Nantes University Hospital, in particular the elements of neurological monitoring. These results will be analyzed in reference to a population hospitalized at the same age, in the same period, and sharing the same diagnostic categories.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
ECMO 50 Patients admitted to pediatric intensive care at the University Hospital of Nantes between January 2014 and December 2022 and supported by ECMO during their hospitalization. |
Other: Quality of life assessment using questionnaires
Several quality of life questionnaires will be submitted to the patients and their parents. The questionnaires will be adapted to the age of the patients.
|
Control 50 patients hospitalized at the same age, during the same time period, and sharing the same diagnostic categories as the ECMO group, but the control group never had ECMO. |
Other: Quality of life assessment using questionnaires
Several quality of life questionnaires will be submitted to the patients and their parents. The questionnaires will be adapted to the age of the patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Compare the overall quality of life of children aged 0-10 years supported by ECMO during their intensive care period with a population of children of the same age hospitalized in pediatric intensive care in the same period. [15 days]
Quality of life evaluated by the total score of the PedsQL (Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM), scale from 0 to 4; 4 being the worst outcome.
