CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Dose response

Description of the efficacy and safety of low dose (LD) and standard dose (SD) anticoagulation with argatroban and enoxaparin in patients on ECMO support.

Secondary objectives 6

  1. Hospital mortality
  2. Six-month mortality
  3. Assessment of the effect of dosage on the consumption of blood derivatives and transfusion products.
  4. Comparison of the frequency of ECMO circuit replacement between the LD and SD groups.
  5. Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score assessment at hospital discharge, on day 30 after initiation of the ECMO therapy, and 6 months after initiation of the ECMO therapy.
  6. Quality of life assessment using standard SF-36 and EQ-5D-5L questionnaires after 6 months from initiation of the ECMO therapy.
