Out of 100,289 mechanically ventilated children, 1393 (1.4%) underwent HD. The mortality rate was 32.5% in the HD group, compared with 8.8% in the control group (p < 0.05). Factors that were associated with higher mortality in HD patients included severe sepsis, BMT, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy (ECMO). After propensity score-matched analysis, HD was still significantly associated with a higher risk of mortality (31.9% vs. 22.0%, p < 0.05) CONCLUSIONS: The requirement for HD in mechanically ventilated children is associated with higher mortality.
