Patient- and procedure-related predictors can identify patients at high risk for CIED complications, which occur more frequently than generally acknowledged.
Supports pre-implant risk stratification using identified predictors; leaves open whether interventions reduce CIED complications.
CIED complications are more frequent than generally acknowledged. Both patient- and procedure-related predictors may identify patients with a particularly high risk of complications. This information should be taken into account both in individual patient treatment and in the planning of future organization of CIED treatment.
