Preoperative fibrinogen level predicts the risk and prognosis of patients with native valve infective endocarditis undergoing valve surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The aim of this study was to assess the clinical significance and prognostic value of the preoperative fibrinogen (FBG) level in patients with native valve infective endocarditis (NVIE) who underwent valve surgery.

Methods

This retrospective study included a total of 163 consecutive patients who were diagnosed with NVIE and underwent valve surgery from January 2019 to January 2022 in our hospital. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality.

Results

All-cause mortality was observed in 9.2% of the patients (n = 15). Body mass index (BMI) was lower in the survival group (p = 0.025), whereas FBG (p = 0.008) and platelet count (p = 0.044) were significantly greater in the survival group than in the death group. Multivariate Cox proportiona
