Abstract

IN RESPONSE: Dr. Emami and colleagues suggest that our use of administrative data overestimated the risk for CIED complications. However, their conclusion is not supported by our findings or the broader literature. Clinical studies have consistently shown a high rate of CIED complications despite not using administrative data. In Australia and New Zealand, multicenter clinical audits report a 3.9% to 4.6% rate of in-hospital complications. This rate increases to 11.9% (with 7.9% requiring reoperation) when early postdischarge complications are included.
