The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes between elderly recipients of CRT\u2010P and CRT\u2010D.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data from 512 patients (405 CRT\u2010D, 107 CRT\u2010P) aged \u226575 years with LV ejection fraction \u226435% and QRS duration &gt;120 milliseconds were retrospectively analyzed for baseline characteristics and followed to the primary outcome of all\u2010cause mortality. Cox proportional hazards models were used to adjust for possible confounders. Results were further validated through propensity matching cohorts. Compared to CRT\u2010D recipients, CRT\u2010P patients were older (83 years vs. 81 years, P &lt; 0.001) and had more comorbid conditions (Charlson index = 5 [3\u20136] vs. 4 [3\u20135], P = 0.007). During 40.8 months of follow\u2010up, there were 280 deaths. Compared to CRT\u2010D patients, CRT\u2010P recipients had higher unadjusted mortality (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.15\u20132.08, P = 0.004). However, this difference lost significance after adjusting for baseline differences between the groups (HR 1.18, 95% CI 0.78\u20131.77, P = 0.435).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Higher all\u2010cause mortality in older CRT\u2010P versus CRT\u2010D patients is largely explained by baseline clinical and demographic differences between the two groups, which are likely the drivers of device selection in real\u2010world clinical practice, where the published guidelines remain ambiguous.
