Real-world comparative studies were included. Data analysis was based on reconstruction of individual patient data from Kaplan-Meier curves using an artificial intelligence algorithm.

Compared to the pooled control group, patients treated with TYRX or TauroPace had fewer CIED infections (HR, 0.3892; 95% CI, 0.2042-0.7419; P=0.00414; HR, 0.3313; 95% CI, 0.1005-1.0925; P=0.06958, respectively).
