Description
Luxford and six colleagues analyse outcomes for newborns with heart inflammation on life support in twenty twenty-six. The cause is enterovirus infection of the heart muscle. Some babies need ECMO, a machine that takes over heart and lung work. Modern prognosis and risk factors for this group were unknown.
The registry study covered one hundred sixty-three newborns from twenty oh oh to twenty twenty-three. Most needed support for cardiac reasons, and a small share after resuscitation. Median support time was about nine days. Hospital survival was about half overall, and near two thirds in recent years. Very young age, long support, and brain injury marked higher risk. Babies bridged to a heart pump device fared very poorly. The authors call for better care for this group.
