Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the effectiveness and annual cost-effectiveness of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ECPR) in adults.Methods:Totally 60 patients received ECPR from April 2015 to March 2020 in Emergency Medicine Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were grouped by discharge survival/hospital death and shockable/unshockable initial rhythm. Age, gender, initial rhythm, survival rate, ECMO treatment time, time-to-death, length of stay and hospitalization costs were analyzed. All discharged survivors were followed up for 1 year, then cost-effectiveness analysis was performed using total cost of ECPR as the cost and 1-year survival rate as the effect.Results:Fifty-four adult patients with ECPR were enrolled, and 17 (31.5%) patients survived and discharged, of whom 15 (88.2%) patients had good neurological outcomes and survived at 1-year follow-up. The median ECMO time was 5 ( IQR 1-8) d, time-to-death was 4 ( IQR 1-9) d, length of stay was 10 ( IQR 3-18) d, total hospitalization cost was 209 122 ( IQR 121 431-303 822) RMB, and the daily cost was 23 587 ( IQR 13 439-38 217) RMB. The rate of shockable initial rhythm was significantly higher in the discharge survival group than the hospital death group. The survival rate of ECPR patients with shockable initial rhythm was significantly higher than that of patients with unshockable initial rhythm, and there was no difference in cost. Conclusions:ECPR is a resource-intensive treatment with a total cost of about 200 000 RMB. Moreover, the effectiveness and annual cost-effectiveness are superior for patients with shockable initial rhythm.
