    Summary

    Mortality from infectious endocarditis (IE) is rising, particularly in older patients and those with primary IE. Staphylococcal and gram-negative infections, along with intravenous drug use, are significant factors in IE deaths.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Infectious endocarditis (IE) remains a significant cause of mortality.
    • Understanding trends in IE-related deaths is crucial for public health.
    • Disease evolution patterns require continuous epidemiological surveillance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct an epidemiological analysis of mortality attributed to infectious endocarditis (IE).
    • To investigate the evolving patterns and trends of IE over time.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 109 fatal cases of IE.
    • Data collected from autopsy results spanning the years 1987-1996.
    • Study conducted at the Kemerovo prosectorium.

    Main Results:

    • A significant upward trend in the death rate associated with IE was observed.
    • Increased mortality was noted among elderly patients and those with primary IE.
    • Key causes of death included staphylococcal IE, gram-negative infections, and IE linked to intravenous drug use.

    Conclusions:

    • The study describes long-term trends in the evolution of infectious endocarditis.
    • Findings highlight shifts in IE demographics and causative agents.
    • Epidemiological data provides insights into disease progression and risk factors.
