Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe the outcome of young adults treated for hypoxemic respiratory failure with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as neonates. DESIGN: The study was designed as a multisite, cross sectional survey. SETTING: The survey was completed electronically or on paper by subjects and stored in a secure data base. SUBJECTS: Subjects were surviving neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients from eight institutions who were18 years old or older. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: A questionnaire modified from the 2011 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and the 2011 National Health Interview Survey with additional unique questions was completed by subjects. Results were compared to age-matched national Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and National Health Interview Survey data. One hundred and forty-six subjects participated (8.9% of eligible candidates). The age at questionnaire submission was 23.7 ± 2.89 years. Subjects differed statistically from national cohorts by being more satisfied with life (93% vs 84.2%); more educated (some college or degree; 80.1% vs 57.7%); more insured for healthcare (89.7% vs 72.3%); less frequent users of healthcare in the last 12 months (47.3% vs 58.2%); more limited because of physical, mental, and developmental problems (19.9% vs 10.9%); and having more medical complications. Furthermore, learning problems occurred in 29.5% of the study cohort. The congenital diaphragmatic hernia group was generally less healthy and less well educated, but equally satisfied with life. Perinatal variables contributed little to outcome prediction. CONCLUSIONS: Most young adult survivors in this study cohort treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as neonates are satisfied with their lives, working and/or in college, in good health and having families. These successes are occurring despite obstacles involving health issues such as asthma, attention deficit disorder, learning difficulties, and vision and hearing problems; this is especially evident in the congenital diaphragmatic hernia cohort. Selection bias inherent in such a long-term study may limit generalizability, and it is imperative to note that our sample may not be representative of the whole.
