The impact ofage on the length of hospitalization was assessed using theSpearman coefficient \(rs\). Multivariate risk factors analysisfocused on the complications that appear up to three monthsafter surgery. For this purpose, logistic regression withstepwise characteristics elimination was used.Complications were adopted as the dependent Y variabledichotomy type. Calculations were done using the statisticalpackage STATISTICA. A database was created usingMicrosoft Office Excel. Statistical hypotheses were verifiedat a significance level =0.05.RESULTSPatients who underwent implantation of a single or dual \; chamber pacemaker in the provincial centre were hospitalized longer than those treated in the reference centre \(the average stay in the provincial hospital for a patient with VVI pacemaker was six days vs. on average 4 days for the reference centre, p<0.001\). The technique of subclavian venipuncture used to implant the endocardial electrode was more common in the provincial hospital \(61.9% vs. 46.7%, p=0.034\). In addition, in 100% of cases, the provincial centre used the passive electrode attachment. It was clearly demonstrated that the number of both early and late \(3 months after procedure\) complications after implantation of a single or dual\-chamber pacemaker in the less experienced centre was not s"]
