Patient with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) sometimes require cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) for tachy/bradyarrhythmias. There are no population-based studies of CIED-related outcomes in the adult TOF population. We reviewed the Nationwide/National Inpatient Sample to determine trends in CIED-related admissions in adults with TOF repair. This is a retrospective review of the Nationwide/National Inpatient Sample database from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2014. There were 18,353 admissions in adults with TOF diagnosis, and of these, CIED were implanted in 792 (4.3%) admissions (CIED-related admissions). Of these 792 CIED-related admissions, pacemakers were implanted in 242 (30.7%) yielding an incidence of 1.3% and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators were implanted in 550 (69.4%) yielding an incidence of 3.0%. In-hospital mortality occurred in 14 (1.8%) of the CIED-related admissions. The mean hospital length of stay was 7.7 ± 1.3 days and inflation-adjusted hospitalization cost was $141,860 ± $127,516. In 5-year intervals (2000 to 2004, 2005 to 2009, and 2010 to 2014), there was a temporal increase in the incidence of CIED-related admissions (3.7% vs 4.4% vs 4.9%, p = 0.006). There was a similar trend in the age at the time of implantation (37.7 ± 14.2 vs 38.2 ± 13.1 vs 39.0 ± 14.5 years, p < 0.001) and Charlson Comorbidity Index (1.1 ± 1.4 vs 1.4 ± 1.8 vs 1.3 ± 1.7, p < 0.001). In conclusion, the incidence of CIED-related admissions was 4.3% and increased over time. Further studies are required to determine if the observed temporal increase in incidence of CIED implantations (particularly implantable cardioverter-defibrillators) is associated with a concomitant increase in incidence of aborted sudden cardiac death.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D013771 Tetralogy of Fallot A combination of congenital heart defects consisting of four key features including VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECTS; PULMONARY STENOSIS; RIGHT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY; and a dextro-positioned AORTA. In this condition, blood from both ventricles (oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor) is pumped into the body often causing CYANOSIS.
