Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Objectives To determine the value of surgery for infective endocarditis (IE) in patients on hemodialysis by comparing the nature and invasiveness of endocarditis in hemodialysis and nonhemodialysis patients and their hospital and long-term outcomes, and identifying risk factors for time-related mortality after surgery. Methods From January 1997 to January 2013, 144 patients on chronic hemodialysis and 1233 nonhemodialysis patients underwent valve surgery for IE at our institution. Propensity matching identified 99 well-matched hemodialysis and nonhemodialysis patient pairs for comparison of outcomes. Results Staphylococcus aureus infection was more common in hemodialysis patients than in nonhemodialysis patients (42% vs 21%; P |
