Abstract
BACKGROUND: The increasing use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has highlighted challenges in managing bleeding complications. Optimal transfusion strategies remain uncertain for this diverse patient group, necessitating accurate predictive tools. This study developed and validated a machine learning (ML) algorithm to predict bleeding complications in patients with ECMO, using red blood cell (RBC) transfusion as a surrogate marker.
