ABSTRACT
The German obligatory external quality assurance for pacemaker implantation generates a large database giving an almost complete review of in-patient pacemaker interventions since 2001. Publications on lead fixation, age and gender dependency of pacemaker indications, choice of pacing mode and complication rates as well as investigations into the causes of lead dysfunction prove that the database is basically suitable for health service research. In contrast to pacemaker registries of other European countries the focus on in-patient operations, missing product specifications and the absence of patient follow-up largely limits the scientific potential of the database. It is greatly hoped that these limitations will be overcome by cross-sectional and longitudinal quality assurance within the next years.
