Score name Study Tested patient population Statistical Info
SAVE score Schmidt et al. [26] (n = 3846) – Adult VA ECMO patients Internal validation:
c-statistic (95% CI): 0.68 (0.66–0.69)
– O:E ratio (95% CI): 0.99
Pladet et al. [45] (n = N/A) – Adult VA ECMO patients, including ECPR External validation (ECPR):
c-statistic (95% CI): 0.70 (0.64–0.75) in pooled analysis
– O: E ratio (95% CI): 1.15 (0.88–1.49) in pooled analysis
– Adult VA ECMO patients excluding ECPR External validation (no ECPR):
c-statistic (95% CI): 0.74 (0.59–0.84)
– O:E ratio (95% CI): 1.13 (0.70–1.80)

AUROC: 0.90 (95% CI: 0.85–0.95)
Amin et al. [28] (n = 120) – Adult VA ECMO patients for refractory CS and ECPR External validation:
– Survivors vs. non-survivors SAVE score:
−9.3 ± 4.1 vs. −13.1 ± 4.4, p = 0.001
c-statistic (95% CI): 0.77 (0.69–0.86), p < 0.001
