Clinical Outcomes of Patients Hospitalized for Conventional Pacemaker Implantation With Protein-Energy Malnutrition.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The impact of protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) on patients hospitalized for conventional pacemaker implantation remains poorly understood.

Methods

We utilized the 2020 U.S. National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to evaluate the impact of PEM on the in-hospital outcomes of patients who underwent conventional pacemaker implantation. Patients aged 18 and older were identified by ICD-10 CM and PCS codes. Multivariable survey logistic and linear regression analyses were employed to examine in-hospital outcomes, including in-patient mortality, system-based outcomes, and post-procedural complications.

Results

A total of 108 020 patients were identified with 4315 (3.99%) diagnosed with PEM. The mean age of the cohort was 76 years, and 47.5% were female. The ov
