Abstract

Objectives: to survey the rate of complications and mortality in patients with IE. Subjects and methods:  a retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted in patients who were admitted to Cho Ray Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 and fulfilled the modified Duke criteria for definite or possible diagnosis of IE. Results: There were 201 patients with IE hospitalized for five years. The mean age of patients was 42.2 ± 15.3 years. Men account for 65.2%. The complications in IE included acute heart failure (10.4%); perivalvular abscess (16.4%); septic shock (7.0%); cerebral infarction (12.9%); cerebral hemorrhage (10.9%); spleen infarction (9.5%); renal infarction (5.5%) and other arterial embolism (5.0%). The in-hospital mortality was 15.9%. Conclusions: The rate of complications and mortality in IE remains high and needs to be decreased more significantly in the future.
