“…However, some may have been overlooked due to unavailability of highly detailed patient-related data needed to distinguish duplicate records. Nevertheless, 99 % of all implantations are registered [12, 18] and the data provide useful information; therefore, errors are expected to be random with regard to indication and pacemaker properties. In contrast to the ECG data and symptoms, information on aetiology is absent in most cases.…”

Utilisation of cardiac pacemakers over a 20-year period: Results from a nationwide pacemaker registry

The implantation of cardiac pacemakers has become a well-established therapy for conduction disorders and sinus node dysfunction. In many countries pacemaker registries have been initiated in order to collect information on patient characteristics, trends in numbers and the types of pacemakers used, to identify problematic devices, and for safety monitoring. For this utilisation study the Central Pacemaker Patients Registration (CPPR) from the Netherlands Pacemaker Registry Foundation (CPPR-SPRN) containing data collected for more than 20 years was used. During this period nearly 97,000 first pacemakers were implanted. Analyses show an increase in the rate of implanted devices. The change in pacemaker type from VVI to DDD, followed by biventricular stimulation, is reflected by the number of simultaneously implanted leads, which is partly a consequence of cardiac resynchronisation therapy. Our data demonstrate that indications for implantation and type of pacemaker are comparable with other European countries.

“…To identify CIED failures, a registry was set up in the Netherlands in the early 1980s: the Central Pacemaker Patients Registration (CPPR) from the Netherlands Pacemaker Registry Foundation (CPPR‐SPRN) . This registry collected data over 25 years and allows for analysis of trends over time regarding the duration of service time or longevity of leads after first implantation .…”

Despite improvements in pacing techniques and experience with cardiac devices, we found that insulation and conductor failures, and complications such as infections, did not diminish over the 20 years of the registry. Continuing attention in clinical practice for the evaluation of these adverse outcomes and maintaining quality registries is warranted, whereas manufacturers should use this information to further improve their devices.

“…A validation study in 1997 showed that more then 95% of pacemaker implantations in the Netherlands were correctly recorded in the CPPR. 3 Since 1990 the ICD registration was added to the registration, ending in 2007 with a total of 14,131 implantations. Also the database contained information on 1600 pacemakers and ICD models, and 1900 lead models that were implanted in this period.…”
