What concerns are there regarding the quality assessment of the sub-finding that some patients do not want to deactivate their ICDs?
The quality assessment of this sub-finding has moderate methodological limitations in the studies contributing to it, moderate concerns about the coherence of the findings due to conflicting reports regarding patients and family members wanting to deactivate their device, partial relevance due to the contributing studies being conducted outside of the UK, and moderate concerns about inadequacy as there was a relatively small amount of evidence which lacked depth. As such, there is an overall judgement of very low confidence in this sub-finding.
