Abstract:
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 affected care both for acute and chronic health conditions. Majority of the patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) have multiple comorbidities, which can influence their response to COVID-19. An online survey consisting of 45 multiple-choice question was designed for CIED patients assessing comorbidities and overall health condition during September -December 2020. A multivariate analysis based on principal axis factoring (PAF) was performed on the eligible 184 survey response. Three factors were identified. Ten-year survival rates were calculated with Charlson Comorbidity Index. The extracted factors explained 66.1% of the cumulative variance and were consistent with medical literature data.
