Summary

Pediatric endocarditis incidence increased, with higher risks for children with central catheters or immunodeficiency. However, significant reductions in morbidity and mortality were observed between 1960-1985 and 1986-2000.

Context:

Endocarditis in children presents unique challenges, often linked to congenital heart disease or invasive procedures.
Understanding trends in pediatric endocarditis is crucial for effective management and prevention strategies.

Purpose:

To evaluate the epidemiology, etiology, and outcomes of infective endocarditis in pediatric patients.
To compare recent trends (1986-2000) with historical data (1960-1985) to identify changes in incidence, risk factors, and outcomes.

Summary:

A cohort study of 56 pediatric patients (1986-2000) revealed an increased incidence of endocarditis compared to 1960-1985.
Congenital heart disease was the most common underlying condition. Streptococci and Staphylococci were the primary pathogens. Central catheters and vascular prostheses were noted risk factors.

Morbidity decreased from 85.7% to 46.4%, and mortality decreased from 27% to 12.5% over the study periods.

Impact:

The study highlights an increased risk of endocarditis in children with central catheters and underlying immunodeficiency.
Healthy children with endocarditis face a higher risk of complications.
Significant improvements in morbidity and mortality underscore advancements in pediatric endocarditis care.
