- The CIED implantation rate among hospitalized COVID-19 patients ranged from 0 to 16.2 per 1000, with a notable 30-day complication rate of 13.9% and a 180-day mortality rate of 9.6%.
- Significant differences in patient outcomes were identified between Europe and North America, highlighting the need for careful consideration of risks when performing CIED procedures on patients with COVID-19.
