Trends in cardiac implantable electronic device utilization in adults with congenital heart disease: a US nationwide analysis.
Article in Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAdults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) have increased risk of arrhythmias warranting implantation of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), which may parallel the observed increase in survival of ACHD patients over the past few decades. We sought to characterize the trends and outcomes of CIED implantation in the inpatient ACHD population across US from 2005 to 2019.
methodsA retrospective analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) identified 1,599,519 unique inpatient ACHD admissions (stratified as simple (85.1%), moderate (11.5%), and complex (3.4%)) using the International Classification of Diseases 9/10-CM codes. Hospitalizations for CIED implantation (pacemaker, ICD, CRT-p/CRT-d) were identified and the trends analyzed using regression analysis (2-tailed p < 0.05 was considered significant).
resultsA significant decrease in the hospitalizations for CIED implantation across the study period [3.3 (2.9-3.8)% in 2005 vs 2.4 (2.1-2.6)% in 2019, p < 0.001] was observed across all types of devices and CHD severities. Pacemaker implantation increased with each age decade, whereas ICD implantation rates decreased over 70 years of age. Complex ACHD patients receiving CIED were younger with a lower prevalence of age-related comorbidities, however, had a greater prevalence of atrial/ventricular tachyarrhythmias and complete heart block. The observed inpatient mortality rate was 1.2%.
conclusionsIn a nationwide analysis, we report a significant decline in CIED implantation between 2005 and 2019 in ACHD patients. This may either be due to a greater proportion of hospitalizations resulting from other complications of ACHD or reflect a declining need for CIED due to advances in medical/surgical therapies. Future prospective studies are needed to elucidate this trend further.
