| Factor | Age at implantation (years) |
| Description | In multivariate analysis a lower age at implantation was the only independent predictor for lead failure (hazard ratio (HR) 0.44: 95% confidence interval 0.20–0.97, p=0.04). |
| Biomarker | YES |
| Classification | E1 (physiological factor - age) |

| Application | risk assessment |
| Objective | We evaluate the incidence of epicardial lead failure and try to identify risk factors in patients with congenital heart disease. |
| p Value | 0.04 |
| HR | 0.44 |
| Conclusion | In multivariate analysis a lower age at implantation was the only independent predictor for lead failure (hazard ratio (HR) 0.44: 95% confidence interval 0.20–0.97, p=0.04). |
