Trends in Infective Endocarditis Mortality in the United States: 1999 to 2020: A Cause for Alarm.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data on national trends in mortality due to infective endocarditis (IE) in the United States are limited.

Methods and results

IE-related crude mortality accelerated significantly in the age groups 25-34 years (average annual percentage change, 5.4 [95% CI, 3.1-7.7]; P<0.001) and 35-44 years (average annual percentage change, 2.3 [95% CI, 1.3-3.3]; P<0.001), but
