Abstract
Background: Patients with infective endocarditis (IE) on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) have poor outcomes, but contemporary data remain limited.
Methods and results: We conducted a retrospective analysis using a nationwide Japanese administrative database and identified 12,158 patients hospitalized with IE between 2018 and 2021, including 806 (6.6%) on maintenance HD. The inhospital mortality rate was significantly higher in HD patients (30.0% vs. 13.5%, P<0.05).
Conclusions: Maintenance HD patients with IE had worse outcomes, underscoring the need for early recognition and tailored management in this highrisk group.
背景:维持性血液透析(HD)的感染性心内膜炎(IE)患者预后较差,但目前的数据仍然有限。方法和结果:我们使用日本全国行政数据库进行了回顾性分析,确定了2018年至2021年期间因IE住院的12158例患者,其中806例(6.6%)为维持性HD。HD患者的住院死亡率明显更高(30.0% vs. 13.5%)。结论:维持性HD合并IE患者的预后更差,强调了对这一高危人群进行早期识别和量身定制管理的必要性。
