Short Term Outcomes and Resource Utilization in Patients Admitted For Infective Endocarditis Who Develop Pericardial Effusion: A Retrospective Cohort Study
PCE after IE admission was linked with inferior outcomes including in-hospital mortality, and several other outcomes, as well as longer hospital stay and accrued costs. Notably, 30-day non-elective readmission was lower among patients with PCE who underwent intervention to drain the effusion during index hospitalization.
