TL;DR: In the early 21st century, IE is more often an acute disease, characterized by a high rate of S aureus infection, and Mortality remains relatively high.
Abstract: (32.3%), and intracardiac abscess (14.4%). Surgical therapy was common (48.2%), and in-hospital mortality remained high (17.7%). Prosthetic valve involvement (odds ratio, 1.47; 95% confidence interval, 1.131.90), increasing age (1.30; 1.17-1.46 per 10-year interval), pulmonary edema (1.79; 1.39-2.30), S aureus infection (1.54; 1.14-2.08), coagulase-negative staphylococcal infection (1.50; 1.07-2.10), mitral valve vegetation (1.34; 1.06-1.68), and paravalvular complications (2.25; 1.643.09) were associated with an increased risk of inhospital death, whereas viridans streptococcal infection (0.52; 0.33-0.81) and surgery (0.61; 0.44-0.83) were associated with a decreased risk. Conclusions: In the early 21st century, IE is more often an acute disease, characterized by a high rate ofS aureus infection. Mortality remains relatively high.
