Temporal trends, clinical characteristics and prognostic factors analysis of infective endocarditis: a multicenter ambispective cohort study in China
In-hospital mortality due to IE in northern China has risen substantially since 2019, particularly in elderly patients and those with comorbid conditions. There was no significant change in overall per capita hospitalization costs or length of stay. Surgical intervention significantly improved survival outcomes. Additionally, patients who have been infected with COVID-19 twice had an 81.3% increased risk of death. The results of this study provide important data into the epidemiological and medical burden of IE in mainland China since the COVID-19 epidemic.
