  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Women and men with implanted cardiac Pacemaker and at least one follow up in our Pacemaker Office of the Department of Cardiology at the Medical University Vienna. Patients were enrolled regardless of time and place of pacemaker implantations.

Who may be able to join

  • All patients registered in the pacemaker database of the Department of Cardiology at the Medical University Vienna. Patients get registered when clinical follow up of an implanted Pacemaker is done.

Who cannot join

  • For survival analysis: No valid match of first name AND surname AND date of birth with patients' insurance data.
  • For analysis of comorbidities: Not a single documented diagnose was found in our electronic clinic-wide patients' information system.

About this study

Official title: Morbidity, Mortality and Gender Differences in Patients With Pacemakers; a Large-scale Single-center Cohort Study

Previous publications suggest gender difference in outcome parameters after pacemaker implantation. Aim of this study is to investigate gender differences in patients with pacemaker. Implanted devices, indication for implantation and pacemaker follow up data of patients will be included. Survival data including cause of death will be documented. Prevalent comorbidities and relevant laboratory data will be recorded.

Being tested
No intervention, retrospective analysis only.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Survival after pacemaker implantation

    Null hypothesis: There is no survival difference between women and men after pacemaker Implantation.

    Measured: 10 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Implantation rates of single- or dual-chamber Pacemaker in women/men.

    Null hypothesis: Women and men have equal implantation rates of single- and dual-chamber pacemakers.

    Measured: Data obtained: April 30th, 2015

  2. Survival of women/men after single- or dual-chamber pacemaker implantation.

    Null hypothesis: Survival after single- or dual-chamber pacemaker implantation is equal.

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pacemaker, Artificial and Cohort Studies, run by Medical University of Vienna.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival after pacemaker implantation (time frame: 10 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03388281, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jan 2018.
