Brief summary

ECMO-PROMPT is a trial that focuses on improving the long-term disability, functional status and health outcomes for survivors of ECMO therapy. Providing the results of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) to patients and their primary care clinicians at hospital discharge and beyond, is an intervention used in other patient groups to support the transition from hospital to home. In this study, ECMO survivors will have PROM monitoring. The intervention group will receive feedback and recommendations.

Interventions

Both intervention and comparator group will have Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) performed at hospital discharge by authorised research personnel (and within 4 weeks of returning home from inpatient rehabilitation where applicable). Participants will complete the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), EQ-5D-5L (Euroquol Group), WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0), Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living (Barthel-ADL) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA-BLIND).

The Lawton-Brody Independant Activities for Daily Living (IADL) will be completed at 4-weeks. PROMS will take approximately 30mins to complete Patients enrolled in the intervention group will have the results of PROMs and any recommendations for follow up, together with general information about ECMO and complications provided to them and and their primary care practitioner (GP) at each time point the PROMs are collected. This information will be in addition to any routine correspondence sent at hospital discharge.
