Trends in the incidence and prevalence of cardiac pacemaker insertions in an ageing population

ObjectivesTo determine contemporary population estimates of the prevalence of cardiac permanent pacemaker (PPM) insertions.MethodsA population-based observational study using linked hospital morbidity and death registry data from Western Australia (WA) to identify all incident cases of PPM insertion for adults aged 18 years or older. Prevalence rates were calculated by age and sex for the years 1995–2009 for the WA population.ResultsThere were 9782 PPMs inserted during 1995–2009. Prevalence rose across the study period, exceeding 1 in 50 among people aged 75 or older from 2005. This was underpinned by incidence rates which rose with age, being highest in those 85 years or older; over 500/100 000 for men throughout, and over 200/100 000 for women. Rates for patients over 75 were more than double the rates for those aged 65–74 years. Women were around 40% of cases overall. The use of dual-chamber and triple-chamber pacing increased across the study period. A cardiac resynchronisation defibrillator was implanted for 58% of patients treated with cardiac resynchronisation therapy.ConclusionsRates of insertion and prevalence of PPM continue to rise with the ageing population in WA. As equilibrium has probably not been reached, the demand for pacing services in similarly well-developed economies is likely to continue to grow.

Because of the current health care environment, involved parties are requesting the assessment of patient safety and efficacy following a lower extremity operation. Many foreign countries have registries to assess postoperative patient safety. A similar system does not exist in the United States. The purpose of this study was to create a registry to assess the safety and efficacy of lower extremity implants and procedures. The EVEREST Lower Extremity Registry is an Internet-based database designed to collect clinical outcomes and survivorship data of total ankle implants, hardware implants, and soft-tissue procedures. All data are collected remotely on a secure Web site. Data are collected at defined intervals according to implant or procedure. The investigators consent patients preoperatively using a central Institutional Review Board and are encouraged to enroll consecutive patients. Routine patient reports allow sites constant feedback regarding their patients versus the entire registry population. Patient engagement begins with providing a personalized implant card and is followed with the appropriate scheduling prompts based on interval due dates. Currently, there are 15 sites contributing data to the registry. There are 47, 79, and 27 patients enrolled in the total ankle, ankle hardware, and soft-tissue registries, respectively. Longest term follow-up collected is 12 months. Early outcomes suggest that many surgeons are willing to assimilate a registry system into their practice. This registry supports the critical need for data collection in lower extremity medicine.

Invasive management of heart rhythm disorders by catheter ablation and device implantation has been established as the therapy of choice for most cardiac arrhythmias, and the number of patients and complex procedures has increased dramatically. However, these procedures have an associated risk of serious complications and require fluoroscopy, which entails additional risks for both the patient and the operating personnel. All of these considerations justify the implementation of actions to guarantee quality and the creation of qualifications for the practice of these techniques in the interest of obtaining the greatest efficacy with the minimum possible risk to the patient and operating personnel. Attempts at quality improvement of electrophysiology in Europe should utilise a systematic approach incorporating various actions, including setting standards via guidelines and consensus recommendations, establishing the basal situation using registries and surveys, introducing pathways for common education with core curriculum documents, fostering motivation by promoting research, recognising excellence through accreditation systems and raising public awareness and public resources using public foundations and patient associations.
