Legend: Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS), Veno-arterial ECMO (VA), Ventricular Assist Device (VAD), Veno-veno ECMO (VV), Cannulation to MCS during ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN). Only patients specified as having been post cardiac surgery and failure to come off bypass were exposed to cardiopulmonary bypass prior to their MCS support. Day of infection represents the number of days from cannulation for mechanical circulatory support, the day before cannulation is day 0, while the first day of mechanical circulatory support accounts for day 1. *Did not speciate to specific candida organism.
