Prognostic factors in 61 cases of Staphylococcus aureus prosthetic valve infective endocarditis from the International Collaboration on Endocarditis merged database.

Staphylococcus aureus prosthetic valve infective endocarditis (SA-PVIE) is associated with a high mortality rate, but prognostic factors have not been clearly elucidated. The International Collaboration on Endocarditis merged database (ICE-MD) contained 2212 cases of definite infective endocarditis (as defined using the Duke criteria), 61 of which were SA-PVIE. Overall mortality rate was 47.5%, stroke was associated with an increased risk of death, and early valve replacement was not associated with a significant survival benefit in the whole population; however, patients who developed cardiac complications and underwent early valve replacement had the lowest mortality rate (28.6%).
