Regression Standardized Endocarditis and Difference in Endocarditis
(Upper panel) The curves represent the estimated cumulative incidence of endocarditis and 95% CI if the population either had received permanent pacemaker implantation or had not received permanent pacemaker implantation, respectively. For example, if the entire population had received a permanent pacemaker implantation, the estimated population cumulative incidence of endocarditis at 17 years would be 7.9%. (Lower panel) Estimated difference in cumulative incidence of endocarditis (95% CI) between the pacemaker and no pacemaker groups.
