الوصف: Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening disease. Despite advancements in diagnosticmethods, the initial clinical presentation of IE remains a valuable asset. Therefore, the impactof clinical presentation on outcomes and its association with microorganisms and IE localization wereassessed herein.Methods: This retrospective study included 183 patients (age 68.9 ± 14.2 years old, 68.9% men)with definite IE at two tertiary care hospitals in Belgium. Demographic data, medical history, clinicalpresentation, blood cultures, imaging data and outcomes were recorded.Results: In-hospital mortality rate was 22.4%. Sixty (32.8%) patients developed embolism, 42 (23%)shock, and 103 (56.3%) underwent surgery during hospitalization. Shock at admission predictedembolism during hospitalization (odds ratio [OR] 2.631, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.119–6.184,p = 0.027). A new cardiac murmur at admission predicted cardiac surgery (OR 1.949, 95% CI 1.007––3.774, p = 0.048). Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus predicted in-hospital mortality andshock (p = 0.005, OR 6.945, 95% CI 1.774–27.192 and p = 0.015, OR 4.691, 95% CI 1.348–16.322,respectively). Mitral valve and aortic valve IE predicted in-hospital death (p = 0.039, OR 2.258, 95%CI 1.043–4.888) and embolism (p = 0.017, OR 2.328, 95% CI 1.163–4.659), respectively.Conclusions: In this retrospective study, shock at admission independently predicted embolism duringhospitalization in IE patients. Moreover, a new cardiac murmur at admission predicted the needfor cardiac surgery. This emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive initial clinical evaluation incombination with imaging and microbiological data, in order to identify high-risk IE patients early.
