We retrospectively identified patients who received ECMO between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2018 in an acute tertiary care hospital. Patients were divided into two groups: (I) those whose target ACT was 160–180 sec and (II) those whose target ACT was 180–220 sec. Cox proportional hazard models and Fine–Gray models adjusted for propensity score to account for the competing risk of death were used to compare the incidence of hemorrhage during ECMO between the groups.
