Antibiotic Prophylaxis During Invasive Dental Procedures in Patients With Prosthetic Heart Valves ― Cross-Sectional Analysis of Japanese Claims Data ―
Background: Patients with prosthetic heart valves (PHVs) are at high risk of infective endocarditis (IE). Although antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) is recommended for invasive dental procedures (IDPs), data on routine procedures and prescribing quality remain limited. This study investigated real-world AP practices across a broad range of IDPs and evaluated prescribing quality in patients with PHVs.
