Sex Disparities in Mortality and Clinical Characteristics in Patients with Infective Endocarditis: A Meta-Analysis of Reconstructed Time-to-Event Data

Women with IE experience higher mortality than men despite similar surgical indications, alongside distinctive valve involvement patterns, higher baseline surgical risk, and lower surgical intervention rates. Earlier recognition, timely intervention, and optimized surgical decision-making in women may help reduce this disparity.

Abstract

Women with IE experience higher mortality than men despite similar surgical indications, alongside distinctive valve involvement patterns, higher baseline surgical risk, and lower surgical intervention rates. Earlier recognition, timely intervention, and optimized surgical decision-making in women may help reduce this disparity.
