Outcomes of infective endocarditis in patients with end-stage renal disease in Spain: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have a higher risk of infective endocarditis (IE) and a worse prognosis associated with it. Our aim is to analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with IE and ESRD in Spain, while exploring potential differences between patients undergoing dialysis and other patients with ESRD.

Methods

Retrospective observational population-based study analyzing 9,008 episodes of IE recorded between 2016 and 2019, using data from the Spanish Minimum Basic DataSet. Among these, 428 patients had ESRD, including 332 who were undergoing dialysis. A multivariable and multilevel logistic regression model was constructed to assess the association between various factors and in-hospital mortality in ESRD patients.
