Key result
Atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and vasculopathy were identified as significant clinical predictors of appropriate ICD therapy, each associated with an odds ratio of 1.8.
Observational (n=613)
No
Odds Ratio: 1.8 (95% CI 1.27–2.53)
p-value: p=<0.01
Atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and vasculopathy are significant predictors of appropriate ICD therapy in primary prevention, and a multifactorial score could help identify low-risk patients to potentially reduce unnecessary ICD implantations.

Devecchi et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (n=613). Atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and vasculopathy vs. Absence of these comorbidities was evaluated on Appropriate ICD therapy (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.27-2.53, p=<0.01). Atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and vasculopathy were identified as significant clinical predictors of appropriate ICD therapy, each associated with an odds ratio of 1.8.
