Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Healthcare-related infective endocarditis is (HCRIE) is a serious health problem that has several impacts on healthcare services. It is associated with high incidence of morbidity and mortality. HCRIE constitutes up to 10-34% of total IE cases. The incidence of HCRIE continues to increase because of ultimate increase in using invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in health care settings, increase in degenerative valve pathology in the elderly, also increased rate of cardiac interventions in the form of prosthetic valve replacement and implantation of other cardiac devices as pacemakers & ICDs.
AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of the study was to register cases of healthcare-related infective endocarditis presented to Alexandria main University Hospital and identify their common risk factors, clinical characteristics and outcomes.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Our studyprospectively enrolled 52 patients with HCRIE. All patients were subjected to detailed history taking, clinical examination, resting electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography and several laboratory investigations.
