Prosthetic valve endocarditis.
Open accessAbstract
Fifty-three (3.6%; actuarially 4.1% at 48 months) of 1465 consecutive in-hospital survivors of valve replacement from 1975 to July 1979 (aortic, mitral, or aortic and mitral, only one untraced) developed prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE). Incremental risk factors for developing PVE were native valve endocarditis (p less than .0001), black race (p = .0001), mechanical prosthesis (vs bioprosthesis) (p = .005), male sex (p = .04), and longer cardiopulmonary bypass time (p = .09). In general, the hazard function for developing PVE was greatest at 3 weeks after valve replacement. Patients with native valve endocarditis had a tendency to develop PVE early after valve replacement, as did patients in whom mechanical prostheses were used. PVE associated with Staphylococcus epidermidis tended to appear within 6 months of valve replacement, whereas streptococcal PVE tended to appear later after valve replacement. PVE took an atypical form in some patients, but patients with possible PVE (n = 6) had the same findings as those with certain PVE (n = 47). In 11 patients bacteriologic confirmation of PVE was not obtained. The typical prosthetic and periprosthetic characteristics of PVE were present in 30 of the 40 cases in which observations were possible. PVE is a serious condition; 34 (64%) of our 53 patients died. Most deaths occurred within 3 months of the first evidence of PVE. Recovery of some patients is possible with appropriate medical and surgical treatment, but more intense preventive measures are indicated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
