Overview

Provides Swedish benchmarks for device use and complications; leaves open drivers of low ICD rates and gender disparities.

Structured PICO

What are the implantation rates, complications, and survival outcomes for pacemakers and ICDs in Sweden?

P
Population
Patients receiving pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in Sweden in 2012
I
Intervention
Pacemaker, ICD, and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation
O
Outcome
Implantation rates, changes over time, 1-year complications, long-term device longevity, and patient survival

Pacemaker and ICD implantation rates in Sweden have plateaued, with ICD and CRT rates remaining very low and not reflecting guideline indications, alongside pronounced gender differences.
