Hospitalizations and costs for CIED-related infections and associated lead extractions significantly increased in the US from 2003 to 2011, with a steady mortality rate of 4.5% that is higher in older patients.
Sridhar et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Cardiac device-related infections (CDI). Calendar year (2011 vs 2003) vs. 2003 was evaluated on Proportion of lead extraction procedures secondary to CDI (p=<0.001). Hospitalizations for cardiac device-related infections increased from 5,308 in 2003 to 9,948 in 2011, with the proportion requiring lead extraction rising from 59.1% to 76.7% (P<0.001).
