Fig. 1 Freedom from pacemaker infection. Dashed lines denote 95% confidence limits about the point estimates. Numbers in parentheses denote number of patients at that time point for whom follow-up data were available. The 1-, 2-, 5-, and 10-year percentages of freedom from pacemaker infection (with confidence limits) are 96.8 (93.9-98.3), 92.9 (88.9-95.5), 86.5 (80.7-90.7), and 86.5 (80.7-90.7). Three individuals had pacemaker infections after 10 years.
