We report that survivors of VV-ECMO have reduced HRQOL in multiple domains at 6 months, with pain reported most frequently. Patients who had limb ischaemia, renal replacement therapy or were transfused more than four units of platelets are particularly at risk of poor HRQOL and may benefit from added support measures.
