METHODS: For 672 enrolled patients, we collected history, LVEF, EP study and T-wave alternans testing, 24-h Holter, NT-proBNP, and the eGFR. All-cause mortality and first appropriate ICD shock were predefined endpoints. RESULTS: The 635 patients included in the final analyses were 63 ± 13 years old, 81% were male, LVEF averaged 40 ± 14%, 20% were inducible at EP study, 63% had a primary prophylactic ICD. During follow-up over 4.3 ± 1.5 years, 108 patients died (4.0% per year), and appropriate shock therapy occurred in n = 96 (3.9% per year). In multivariate regression, age (p < 0.001), LVEF (p < 0.001), NYHA functional class (p = 0.007), eGFR (p = 0.024), a history of atrial fibrillation (p = 0.011), and NT-pro-BNP (p = 0.002) were predictors of mortality. LVEF (p = 0.002), inducibility at EP study (p = 0.007), and secondary prophylaxis (p = 0.002) were identified as independent predictors of appropriate shocks. A high annualized risk of shocks of about 10% per year was prevalent in the upper quintile of the shock score. In contrast, a low annual risk of shocks (1.8% per year) was found in the lower two quintiles of the shock score. The lower two quintiles of the mortality score featured an annual mortality <0.6%. CONCLUSIONS: In a prospective ICD patient cohort, a very good approximation of mortality versus arrhythmic risk was possible using a multivariable diagnostic strategy. EP stimulation is the best test to assess risk of arrhythmias resulting in ICD shocks."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.ijcard.2018.06.103"],["dc.identifier.pmid","29983251"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15929"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59764"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.intern","In goescholar not merged with http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15360 but duplicate"],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/241526/EU//EUTRIGTREAT"],["dc.relation.issn","1874-1754"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 4.0"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.subject.mesh","Aged"],["dc.subject.mesh","Aged, 80 and over"],["dc.subject.mesh","Arrhythmias, Cardiac"],["dc.subject.mesh","Cohort Studies"],["dc.subject.mesh","Death, Sudden, Cardiac"],["dc.subject.mesh","Defibrillators"],["dc.subject.mesh","Defibrillators, Implantable"],["dc.subject.mesh","Female"],["dc.subject.mesh","Follow-Up Studies"],["dc.subject.mesh","Humans"],["dc.subject.mesh","Male"],["dc.subject.mesh","Middle Aged"],["dc.subject.mesh","Mortality"],["dc.subject.mesh","Multivariate Analysis"],["dc.subject.mesh","Natriuretic Peptide, Brain"],["dc.subject.mesh","Peptide Fragments"],["dc.subject.mesh","Prospective Studies"],["dc.subject.mesh","Risk Factors"],["dc.title","Differential multivariable risk prediction of appropriate shock versus competing mortality - A prospective cohort study to estimate benefits from ICD therapy"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The EUropean Comparative Effectiveness Research to Assess the Use of Primary ProphylacTic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (EU-CERT-ICD) aims to assess its current clinical value. METHODS AND RESULTS: The EU-CERT-ICD is a prospective investigator-initiated non-randomized, controlled, multicentre observational cohort study performed in 44 centres across 15 European Union countries. We will recruit 2250 patients with ischaemic or dilated cardiomyopathy and a guideline indication for primary prophylactic ICD implantation. This sample will include 1500 patients at their first ICD implantation and 750 patients who did not receive a primary prevention ICD despite having an indication for it (non-randomized control group). The primary endpoint is all-cause mortality; the co-primary endpoint in ICD patients is time to first appropriate shock. Secondary endpoints include sudden cardiac death, first inappropriate shock, any ICD shock, arrhythmogenic syncope, revision procedures, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness. At baseline (and prior to ICD implantation if applicable), all patients undergo 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and Holter ECG analysis using multiple advanced methods for risk stratification as well as detailed documentation of clinical characteristics and laboratory values. Genetic biobanking is also organized. As of August 2018, baseline data of 2265 patients are complete. All subjects will be followed for up to 4.5 years. CONCLUSIONS: The EU-CERT-ICD study will provide a necessary update about clinical effectiveness of primary prophylactic ICD implantation. This study also aims for improved risk stratification and patient selection using clinical and ECG risk markers."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/ehf2.12367"],["dc.identifier.pmid","30299600"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15947"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59780"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/602299/EU//EU-CERT-ICD"],["dc.relation.issn","2055-5822"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.subject.mesh","Cardiomyopathy, Dilated"],["dc.subject.mesh","Death, Sudden, Cardiac"],["dc.subject.mesh","Defibrillators, Implantable"],["dc.subject.mesh","Electrocardiography"],["dc.subject.mesh","Europe"],["dc.subject.mesh","Follow-Up Studies"],["dc.subject.mesh","Humans"],["dc.subject.mesh","Patient Selection"],["dc.subject.mesh","Primary Prevention"],["dc.subject.mesh","Prospective Studies"],["dc.subject.mesh","Quality of Life"],["dc.subject.mesh","Risk Assessment"],["dc.subject.mesh","Survival Rate"],["dc.subject.mesh","Treatment Outcome"],["dc.title","Rationale and design of the EU-CERT-ICD prospective study: comparative effectiveness of prophylactic ICD implantation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
