Normal distribution of measurement data is expressed as mean ± standard deviation (mean ± SD). Non-normal distribution is represented by the median, interquartile spacing (M (QL, QU)). Gal-3-T0 and BNP-T0 showed blood samples before ECMO, Gal-3-T24 and BNP-T24 at 24 h after ECMO, and Gal-3-T72 and BNP-T72 at 72 h after ECMO. TECMO refers to the duration of ECMO treatment patients, and TICU refers to the duration of the ICU stay.
