BACKGROUND: Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections are associated with hospitalization, mortality, increased costs, and adverse outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: Determine the burden of infections for CIEDs based on device type, associated comorbidities, and clinical characteristics over a 12-year period.

METHODS: Utilizing data from the National Inpatient Sample database for cases from 2000 through 2012, we identified procedures for device-related infection (DRI) using International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes for CIED removal with diagnosis codes for device-related infection or systemic infection. Cases were categorized into 4 groups: single-chamber pacemaker, dual-chamber pacemaker, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device, and intracardiac defibrillator (ICD).

RESULTS: Of 4,144,683 device-related procedures, 85,203 (2.06%) were associated with DRI. From 2000 through 2012, procedures related to DRI increased from 1.45% to 3.41% (P < .001). The risk of infection for CRT devices was the highest, peaking in 2012 (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.43, P < .001). During second half of the study, comorbidities associated with DRI were diabetes (OR: 1.11, P < .001), end-stage renal disease (OR: 3.23, P < .001), hematoma (OR: 2.44, P < .001), malnutrition (OR: 2.66, P < .001), venous thromboembolism (OR: 2.37, P < .001), chronic kidney disease (OR: 1.26, P < .001), and organ transplantation (OR: 2.37, P < .001). Charges associated with CRT DRIs increased nearly 2-fold in a decade. Higher inpatient mortality related to device infection were stroke (OR: 3.19, P < .001), end-stage renal disease (OR: 2.91, P < .001), malnutrition (OR: 2.67, P < .001), cirrhosis (OR: 2.05, P = .001), and organ transplantation (OR: 2.16, P < .001).

CONCLUSION: CIED infections are increasing for all device types and particularly for CRT devices. Precise reasons for rising DRI procedures remain unclear, although conditions leading to immune compromise appear significant.
