NCT01628666

Brief Summary

The goal of the study is to compare whether a center-wide policy of incremental antibiotic therapy will reduce CIED infection rate compared to a policy of conventional antibiotic prophylaxis in high-risk patients undergoing arrhythmia device procedures. All antibiotics used are approved for use and readily available.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Hospitalization attributed to device infection

    Evaluation is one year post patient's procedure

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • 1. Proven device infection not requiring surgical intervention (medically treated device infection).

    Up to one year post procedure

  • 2. Any treatment with antibiotics for suspected device infection.

    Up to one year post procedure

  • 3. Antibiotic-related adverse events including culture or antigen proven C. difficile infection.

    Up to one year post procedure

  • 4. Prolongation of hospitalization due to proven or suspected adverse events from the antibiotic therapy.

    Up to one year post procedure

  • Cost benefit analysis

    At completion of data collection period

  • +1 more secondary outcomes
