OR DECADES, INFECTIVE ENDOCARditis (IE) caused by Staphylococcus aureus has been viewed primarily as a community-acquired disease, especially associated with injection drug use. [1]][10][11] S IE is relatively infrequent at any individual institution, and observations of its characteristics were based upon small samples, 1,3,6,9,[12][13][14] single-center experiences, 5,6,8,9,[13][14][15][16] or retrospectively identified patients. 2,7,8,15,16tient characteristics, treatment practices,...
Abstract The microbiology, epidemiology, diagnostics, and treatment of infective endocarditis (IE) have changed significantly since the Duke Criteria were published in 1994 modified 2000. International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases (ISCVID) convened a multidisciplinary Working Group to update diagnostic criteria IE. resulting 2023 Duke-ISCVID IE propose significant changes, including new microbiology diagnostics (enzyme immunoassay Bartonella species, polymerase chain...
Host factors and complications have been associated with higher mortality in infective endocarditis (IE). We sought to develop validate a model of clinical characteristics predict 6-month IE.Using large multinational prospective registry definite IE (International Collaboration on Endocarditis [ICE]-Prospective Cohort Study [PCS], 2000-2006, n=4049), survival was developed by Cox proportional hazards modeling inverse probability weighting for surgery treatment internally validated the...
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are an infrequent cause of native valve endocarditis (NVE), and our understanding NVE caused by CoNS is incomplete.The International Collaboration on Endocarditis-Prospective Cohort Study includes patients with from 61 centers in 28 countries. Patients definite cases who were enrolled during the period June 2000-August 2006 compared Staphylococcus aureus viridans group streptococci. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine factors...
Background. The timing of cardiac surgery after stroke in infective endocarditis (IE) remains controversial. We examined the relationship between and incidence in-hospital 1-year mortalities.
Background. The impact of early valve surgery (EVS) on the outcome Staphylococcus aureus (SA) prosthetic infective endocarditis (PVIE) is unresolved. objective this study was to evaluate association between EVS, performed within first 60 days hospitalization, and SA PVIE International Collaboration Endocarditis–Prospective Cohort Study.
Infective endocarditis (IE) has undergone important changes in its epidemiology worldwide.The study aimed to compare IE epidemiological features and outcomes according predefined European regions between two different time periods the twenty-first century.IE cases from 13 countries were included. Two considered: 2000-2006 2008-2012. considered, United Nations geoscheme for Europe: Southern (SE) Northern-Central Europe (NCE). Comparisons performed periods. A total of 4195 episodes included,...
ABSTRACT The use of daptomycin in Gram-positive left-sided infective endocarditis (IE) has significantly increased. purpose this study was to assess the influence high-dose on outcome IE due pathogens. This a prospective cohort based 1,112 cases from International Collaboration Endocarditis (ICE)-Plus database and ICE-Daptomycin Substudy 2008 2010. Among patients with Staphylococcus aureus , coagulase-negative staphylococci, Enterococcus faecalis we compared those treated (cohort A)...
Candida infective endocarditis is a rare disease with high mortality rate. Our understanding of this infection derived from case series, reports, and small prospective cohorts. The purpose study was to evaluate the clinical features use different antifungal treatment regimens for endocarditis. This cohort based on 70 cases International Collaboration Endocarditis (ICE)-Prospective Cohort Study ICE-Plus databases collected between 2000 2010. majority infections were acquired nosocomially...
Abstract Background Scarce data are available comparing infective endocarditis (IE) following surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter (TAVR). This study aimed to compare the clinical presentation, microbiological profile, management, outcomes of IE after SAVR versus TAVR. Methods Data were collected from “Infectious Endocarditis TAVR International” (enrollment 2005 2020) “International Collaboration on Endocarditis” 2000 2012) registries. Only patients with an affecting...
To compare the clinical and epidemiological features, treatments, outcomes of patients with isolated right-sided left-sided fungal endocarditis to determine risk factors for in-hospital mortality in Candida sp endocarditis.A retrospective review all consecutive cases from five hospitals was performed. Clinical features were compared between endocarditis. In subgroup due species, binary logistic regression analysis performed variables related mortality.Seventy-eight studied. Their median age...
INTRODUCTION: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a systemic infectious disease requiring multidisciplinary team for treatment. This study presents the epidemiological and clinical data of 73 cases IE in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. METHODS observational prospective cohort patients during an eight-year period described episodes 70 (three had twice). Community-associated (CAIE) healthcare-acquired infective (HAIE) were diagnosed according to modified Duke criteria. The collected included demographic,...
We report here the first case of endocarditis due to CA-MRSA not associated with healthcare contact in Brazil Brazil. A previously healthy patient presented history following a traumatic wound infection. Patient had multiple positive blood cultures within 72 h admission and met modified Duke's criterion for infective endocarditis. The isolate was typed as Staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SCC) mec type IV presence Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). Increased incidence is challenge...
Abstract Background Beta-hemolytic streptococci (BHS) are an uncommon cause of infective endocarditis (IE). The aim this study was to describe the clinical features and outcomes patients with BHS IE in a large multinational cohort compare them viridans streptococcal IE. Methods International Collaboration on Endocarditis Prospective Cohort Study (ICE-PCS) is database that recruited prospectively using standardized data set. Sixty-four sites 28 countries reported standard case report form...
Early identification of patients with infective endocarditis (IE) at higher risk for in-hospital mortality is essential to guide management and improve prognosis.
Background: Non-HACEK Gram-negative bacilli (NGNB) infective endocarditis (IE) has a growing frequency. We aimed to describe cases of NGNB IE and find associated risk factors. Methods: conducted prospective observational study consecutive patients with definitive according the modified Duke criteria in four institutions Brazil. Results: Of 1154 adult enrolled, 38 (3.29%) had due NGNB. Median age was 57 years, males predominated, accounting for 25/38 (65.8%). Most common etiologies were...
Background: Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, the incidence mortality of infective endocarditis (IE) have increased recent decades despite treatment. Studies on risk factors for Latin America are scarce. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 240 patients diagnosed with IE according to modified Duke criteria who were admitted two university hospitals Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from January 2009 June 2021. Poisson regression analysis was performed trend tests. The...
