They also had lower 30-day mortality that almost reached statistical significance compared to those with other ICDs (OR = 0.1, 95% CI = 0.02–1.06, p = 0.0570), other types of CV access (OR = 0.1, 95% CI = 0.01–1.68, p = 0.1199), poor dentition (OR = 0.1, 95% CI = 0.02–1.33, p = 0.0874), and history of IE (OR = 0.1, 95% CI = 0.02–1.09, p = 0.0602).
