4 Data Quality Statement The quality of the analyses in this report is only as good as the quality of the data that supports it. That data is originally submitted by hospitals to the National Pacemaker Database. If there is a deficit in registration, or if registrations do not contain a valid postcode, then analysis gaps are inevitable. Data is then anonymised and extracted to provide the basis of the analysis by the Survey Group. Permission to do so has been given by Heart Rhythm UK and by the Department of Health Vascular Team. To minimise the risk of deficit errors, a threshold of 98% for registration and postcode completeness is sought for each hospital. Overall network completeness MUST reach 98% or a report will not be issued. Every effort is made to ensure this report is as accurate as possible - however please contact us if you identify any residual problem and we will try to correct the error promptly.

14 Correcting Implant Rates for Age and Sex Calculating Need Most pacemakers are implanted for conduction system disease, which is predominantly a disease of the elderly. The graph (right) shows the percentage of the population in 5 year age bands, and the percentage of pacemaker implants. Only 11% of the population are aged 70 or more, but they receive 76% of all pacemaker implants. Men also receive more pacemakers than women. Although the national average new implant rate is 534, it reaches more than 11,000 in men aged more than 90 (right). So the proportion of older people in a local population will strongly influence how many pacemakers need to be implanted. If we examine closely the age and sex distribution of the local population of a PCT (LHB in Wales) or Network, we can work out how many pacemakers we would EXPECT to see implanted, compared to the national average. The ratio of the local and national rate is called the Relative Need, and we calculate this for both pacemakers and ICDs. So, for example, in North East London the population is relatively young. Only 8% are aged 70 or more, compared to the national average of 11%. This means that this network doesn't need as many pacemaker implants relative to the nation as a whole. Their Relative Need for Pacing is calculated to be 80% of the national average. In contrast, Sussex has a more elderly population, with 16% aged 70 or over. Their Relative Need for Pacing is 140%. 14

15 Using Relative Need We want to make a fair and valid comparison between PCTs/LHBs, Networks and the National Average. That means we should correct for relative need. So, for example if North London has a pacing rate of 480, and Sussex has a rate of 840, are they different? North London's adjusted rate is 480 divided by relative need (80%) = 600. Sussex's adjusted rate is 840 divided by 140% = 600. So the adjusted rates for these two areas are the same, despite the major apparent difference in their unadjusted rates. Implantable Defibrillators The diseases for which ICDs are implanted are not the same as for pacemakers, and tend to occur in slightly younger people. These diseases are principally ischaemic heart disease and cardiomyopathy. We therefore need to calculate a separate relative need factor for ICDs. The graph (right) of new ICD implant rate in 2006 shows that ICDs are also predominantly implanted in older people. Unlike pacemakers, the ICD implant rate starts to decline over the age of 75. The influence of a local elderly population of need for ICDs will therefore still be present, but just slightly less in magnitude than for pacemakers. Sussex, for instance, has a relative ICD need of 138%. 15

16 Relative need for Pacemakers and ICDs Indicative new implant rate Pacemakers: 534 ICD: 64 (average for England 2009) Average age: A PCT with a relatively OLD population will need relatively MORE pacemaker and ICD implants compared to a PCT with a young population, because the incidence of indications for pacing and ICD is higher in older people. Average age Expected pacing new implant rate Compared to national average Expected ICD new implant rate Compared to national average 5PN Peterborough % 61 95% 5PP Cambridgeshire % 63 99% 5PQ Norfolk % % Great Yarmouth and 5PR Waveney % % 5PT Suffolk % % Cardiac Network - Relative Need for New Implant Rate % % England (for comparison) England % % Note: "Expected" pacing and ICD rates are relative to national average rate, but are corrected depending on the age and sex distribution of the local population (see Page 12). For Pacemakers, the expected implant rate will be higher if the percentage of older people in the PCT is higher. For ICDs, the same general rule applies, but the pattern is slightly different, because ICD implant rates peak at age 70 and then decrease rapidly. These relative rates will be used to correct the observed rates and produce a truer reflection of local implant rates vs. local need. 16

The funnel plot below shows the national target (grey line) and the upper (green) and lower (red) control limits. PCTs are shown in light blue circles, and this network's PCTs are shown as larger blue circles. If a PCT's rate is above the green line, it may be excessively high. If it is below the red line, it may be too low PCT New Implant Rate National Target Upper Control Limit Low er Control Limit PCT in This Netw ork significantly above national target PCT pacemaker new implant rate consistent with national target 200 significantly below national target , , , ,000 1,000,000 1,200,000 1,400,000 PCT population Funnel plots are a way of displaying performance against a national average or target. Here, the national target of 700 is shown as a horizontal grey line. The small blue dots represent the new implant rate (yaxis) in each PCT in the country plotted against that PCTs population (x-axis). The individual PCTs in THIS NETWORK are plotted as larger blue circles. The CONTROL LIMITS determine whether a PCT's new implant rate is significantly greater than (green line) or less than (red line) the national target. The statistical significance level was chosen to ensure that the total risk of one or more PCTs being outside the control limits by random chance is no more than 5%. 19

23 CRT implants in this network Heart failure is a major and growing public health problem in all Western countries, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality despite optimal medical therapy. Clinical trials of high scientific quality published in recent years have consistently found that cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) improves symptoms, quality of life, exercise tolerance and survival in appropriately chosen patients with advanced heart failure and evidence of left ventricular dyssynchrony who are refractory to optimal medical therapy. CRT involves simultaneous pacing of the left and right ventricles (CRT-P), and may be combined, in the same device, with a defibrillation function (CRT-D). Although CRT involves pacing the heart, it should not be confused with 'classical' pacing for bradycardia - the vast majority of CRT recipients do not require pacing for bradycardia. The function of pacing is to make the ventricles beat at the same time ('resynchronisation'). Within this report, data for CRT-P and CRT-D are quantified separately from pacing and ICD data respectively. In the UK, CRT is provided predominantly by tertiary centres with a special interest in cardiac device therapy. Despite the high prevalence of heart failure, uptake of CRT in the UK is amongst the lowest in Western Europe. NICE published guidelines on the cost effectiveness of CRT in 2007, and it is expected that clinical demand for CRT therapy will continue to rise significantly in coming years.

32 Pacing Mode for Sick Sinus Syndrome There is ample evidence from major clinical trials and support from NICE guidelines (NICE Technology Appraisal 88, 2005) that use of ventricular pacing modes in patients with sick sinus syndrome can lead to poor outcomes, notably an increased incidence of atrial fibrillation and pacemaker syndrome. Pacing modes in sick sinus syndrome should be atrial based (i.e. dual chamber or atrial). The Western European average in 2005 was 92% atrial based pacing for SSS. In the UK the average was 76% in 2008 and 81% in Any percentage of ventricular based pacing greater than 10% has been shaded pink, and may be considered higher than desirable.

35 Corrected and Actual New Implant Rates Pacemakers Expected and Actual New Implant Rates Explanatory note: The "Raw" new implant rate is the actual implant rate of new pacemakers per million population in each PCT. The "corrected" rate is the raw rate, adjusted for relative need so if a PCT has an aging population, its relative need is > 100% and its corrected rate will be reduced to reflect that need. Comparisons between PCTs and with network and national averages should be made using corrected rate. England Average 534 Network average (unadjusted) 599 Network average (corrected for age and sex) 520 Population Relative need for PM New Implant Rate 2009 Raw Corrected 5PN Peterborough 163, % PP Cambridgeshire 589, % PQ Norfolk 739, % PR Great Yarmouth and Waveney 210, % PT Suffolk 585, %

36 How much does the implant rate vary in this network? Of course there will always be some random variation in implant rate. This NORMAL CAUSE variation is not considered likely to exceed 5% of the total implant rate for pacing. Variation IN EXCESS of 10% may be considered due to another (SPECIAL) cause, such as referral patterns or varying implantation policies between trusts. Variability Index for this Cardiac Network 15.3% 1% RATING: slight excess variation in implant rates between PCTs 36

37 New Pacemaker Implant Rates The Western European average new implant rate for 2003 and 2004 was 700 per million population. This figure is also now the HRUK target and will be used as the basis for comparison.

38 Corrected and Actual New Implant Rates Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) Explanatory note: The "Raw" new implant rate is the actual implant rate of new ICDs per million population in each PCT. The "Corrected" rate is the raw rate, adjusted for relative need - so if a PCT has an aging population, its relative need is > 100% and its corrected rate will be reduced to reflect that need. Comparisons between PCTs should be made using Corrected rate.

44 Conclusions The population is older than average, overall the network requires 15% more pacemakers than the national average, and 11% more ICDs. The Network pacemaker implantation rate has increased in 2009 and is now just below the national average. Three of the five PCTs experienced an increase. The Network ICD implant rate increased. Four of the five PCTs experienced an increase in rate, with only Great Yarmouth and Waveney PCT showing a slight decrease. Overall the Network ICD implant rate remains below the national average. The network Total CRT implant rate increased in 2009 and remains below the national average. The proportion of atrial based pacing (74%) is a lot higher than the national average of 65%. 44
