Seventeen-year trend (2001–2017) in pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator utilization based on hospital discharge database data: An analysis by age groups
DOIAbstract
10noAims: To analyze temporal trends (2001 -2017) of Pacemakers (PM) and Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICD) procedures in Italy, according to the national Hospital Discharge Database (HDD). Methods: Frequency and implant rate (IR) in the Italian population were analyzed by age groups (<50, 50–79, ≥80 years). Results: From 2001 (2009 for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy-Defibrillator – CRT-D) to 2017, first PM implants (1stPM) increased from 36,823 (637/million inhabitants) to 49,716 (820/million), ICD implants from 3,141 (54/million) to 24,255 (400/million) and CRT-D from 2,915 (49/million, 16.5% of ICD) to 8,595 (142/million, 35.4% of ICD). ICD implants due to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation decreased from 5...
