aThe lower limit of the 95%-CI had to be >90% to reject the null hypothesis for a device category.
bH1 and H2 are predefined composite primary hypotheses (see Methods). In addition to SADE-free rate, also primary endpoints 2 and 3 (Table 5) contribute to H1 and H2.
c,dThe results are also valid for the entire ICD/CRT-D system with DF-1 (c) or DF-4 (d) connection (post-hoc analysis).
CI: confidence interval; CRT-D/-P: cardiac resynchronisation therapy defibrillator/pacemaker; DF-1: old-standard connector type; DF-4: new-standard connector type; DX: ICD lead allowing atrial sensing via floating dipole; ICD: implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; SADE: serious adverse device effect.
