Forty-Year Trends in Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Infective Endocarditis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies investigating cardiac implantable electronic device infective endocarditis (CIED-IE) epidemiological changes and prognosis over long periods of time are lacking.

Methods

Retrospective single cardiovascular surgery center cohort study of definite CIED-IE episodes between 1981-2020. A comparative analysis of two periods (1981-2000 vs 2001-2020) was conducted to analyze changes in epidemiology and outcome over time.

Results

One-hundred and thirty-eight CIED-IE episodes were diagnosed: 25 (18%) first period and 113 (82%) second. CIED-IE was 4.5 times more frequent in the second period, especially in implantable cardiac defibrillators. Age (63 [53-70] vs 71 [63-76] years, P < .01), comorbidities (CCI 3.0 [2-4] vs 4.5 [3-6], P > .01), nosoco
