Sex differences in postoperative outcomes for infective endocarditis
Awareness of sex-specific differences in risk factors, clinical presentation, intervention bias, complications, and outcomes of IE is essential for optimizing management and equitable care. Further research into sex-based pathophysiology, comorbidity management, and tailored perioperative strategies is critical to advancing patient-centered treatment and optimizing clinical outcomes.
