  1. aData are presented as median [interquartile range] for continuous variables and as N (percentage) for categorical variables
  2. ECPR, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation; ECMO, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
  3. A favorable outcome was defined as a cerebral performance category (CPC) of 1 or 2, whereas an unfavorable outcome was defined as a CPC of 3, 4, or 5
  4. bPatients may have more than 1 complication
