Sažetak (engleski)

Objectives: Studies concerning factors associated with long-term outcomes in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients after infective endocarditis (IE) are scarce, while IE-related mortality in these patients remains a burden. We evaluated the factors associated with long-term survival in ACHD patients admitted for IE.

Methods: We performed a retrospective single-centre study of all ACHD patients admitted for IE to a tertiary cardiothoracic centre between 1999 and 2015. Underlying ACHD, detailed echocardiographic and clinical data, surgical treatment and long-term follow-up were analysed.

Results: We identified 151 ACHD patients admitted due to 176 episodes IE with 30-day, 6-month and 1-, 5- and 10-year survival of 95.4%, 92.7%, 92.7%, 84.7% and 75.6%, respectively. In a multivariable analysis, adjusted estimated probability of death was consistently higher after an IE episode among patients with complex as compared to simple/moderate ACHD: 10.6% vs 2.4% at 30 days, 15.0% vs 3.4% at 6 months and 1 year, 30.4% vs 7.8% at 5 years and 44.9% vs 13.1% at 10 years. Risk of death was higher among patients with prosthetic valve in comparison with those without (risk ratios 1.73-1.92). Surgical treatment was required in 76 (43.2%) episodes with 30-day mortality of 3.9%. Risk of death appeared to be lower than in the conservatively treated subgroup (risk ratios 0.71-0.78).

Conclusions: We demonstrated satisfactory long-term survival in ACHD patients who were treated for IE in a tertiary cardiothoracic centre. Early mortality tended to be lower in the surgically treated subgroup. Factors negatively associated with long-term survival were complex ACHD and presence of prosthetic valve.
