The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive factors of early complications. Methods: Cross-sectional study of the cohort of patients fitted between January 2011 and January 2018 at the cardiology department of Habib Thameur hospital in Tunis. Results: 441 patients were included. The mean age was 66.5   11.1 years, 53.5% of patients were male and 54% of patients were diabetic. All patients had type 2 diabetes. Early mortality and morbidity rates were 0.22% (n=1) and 7.48% (n=33) respectively. Complications were pneumothorax in 18 cases (4.08%), infection of the lodge in 5 cases (1.13%), hematoma in 3 cases (0.68%) and catheter displacement in 3 cases (0.68%), cardiac perforation in 2 cases (0.45%) and thromboembolic complications in 2 cases (0.45%). In multivariate analysis, diabetes was the strongest independent predictor of the occurrence of infectious complications (OR =2.23 (CI:1.04-4.77), p=0.038).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46450307072151,"sku":"9786204069913","price":3716.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786204069913.webp?v=1769149713","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/early-complications-of-pacemakers-and-defibrillators-9786204069913","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
