Risk factors for endogenous endophthalmitis in infectious endocarditis patients
Older age (21+ years) and Hispanic and Asian/Pacific Islander background were associated with increased risk of developing EE in IE patients. Diabetes with and without chronic complications, AUD, or cirrhosis also conferred a 1.5-2 times increased risk. CHF, arrhythmia, or having a cardiac device were associated with decreased risk.
