Little evidence is available about the influence of frailty on the risk of lead dislodgment after CIED implantation procedures; thus, the evaluation of frailty could be relevant for the course and safety of the implantation procedure, especially among the elderly with cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to assess the risks and predictors of early lead dislodgement in the elderly population. Methods: Between 2008 and 2021, 14,293 patients underwent implantations. In 400 elderly patients, lead dislodgement was confirmed, and frailty was retrospectively calculated. Results: The most frequent dislodgement according to the lead position was that of the atrial lead (133; 33.3%). In the logistic regression, frailty (OR: 1.8196, 95% CI:1.4991\u20132.2086; p &lt; 0.0001) and age (OR: 1.0315, 95% CI:1.0005\u20131.0634; p &lt; 0.0461) were independent predictors of early dislodgement. In the female group, frailty (OR: 2.1185, 95% CI: 1.5530\u20132.8899; p &lt; 0.0001) was an independent predictor of early dislodgement. Similarly, in the male group, frailty (OR: 1.6321, 95% CI:1.2725\u20132.0934; p &lt; 0.0001) was an independent predictor of early dislodgement. Conclusion: Lead dislodgement often occurs in the elderly. Frailty in both men and women is a predictive factor of early lead dislodgment. Evaluating frailty may be an essential element of proper selection, especially in the elderly undergoing CIED procedures, and, consequently, it could help prevent further complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph192214766","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,10]],"date-time":"2022-11-10T03:33:05Z","timestamp":1668051185000},"page":"14766","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Predictors of Early Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Lead Dislodgement in the Elderly"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2697-3543","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafal","family":"Mlynarski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electroradiology, School of Health Sciences, Medical University of Silesia, 40-635 Katowice, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Electrocardiology, Upper Silesian Heart Centre, 40-635 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4009-0613","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Mlynarska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrocardiology, Upper Silesian Heart Centre, 40-635 Katowice, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Gerontology and Geriatric Nursing, School of Health Sciences, Medical University of Silesia, 40-635 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0562-9695","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michal","family":"Joniec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrocardiology, Upper Silesian Heart Centre, 40-635 Katowice, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Electrocardiology and Heart Failure, School of Health Sciences, Medical University of Silesia, 40-635 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8770-8321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sylwia","family":"Gladysz-Wanha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrocardiology, Upper Silesian Heart Centre, 40-635 Katowice, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Electrocardiology and Heart Failure, School of Health Sciences, Medical University of Silesia, 40-635 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maciej","family":"Honkowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electroradiology, School of Health Sciences, Medical University of Silesia, 40-635 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Stachanczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac Rehabilitation, Murcki Hospital, 40-749 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5722-7976","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Krzysztof S.","family":"Golba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrocardiology, Upper Silesian Heart Centre, 40-635 Katowice, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Electrocardiology and Heart Failure, School of Health Sciences, Medical University of Silesia, 40-635 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"206","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/eun363","article-title":"Subacute cardiac perforations associated with active fixation leads","volume":"11","author":"Przybylski","year":"2008","journal-title":"Europace"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"907","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hrthm.2005.06.011","article-title":"Incidence and predictors of cardiac perforation after permanent pacemaker placement","volume":"2","author":"Mahapatra","year":"2005","journal-title":"Heart Rhythm"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"975","DOI":"10.1253\/circj.CJ-12-0707","article-title":"Incidence and predictors of pericardial effusion after permanent heart rhythm device implantation: Prospective evaluation of 968 consecutive patients","volume":"77","author":"Ohlow","year":"2013","journal-title":"Circ.
