Meta-analysis reveals age-specific mortality patterns in infective endocarditis associated with congenital heart disease, suggesting tailored management strategies.
In this meta-analysis, mortality patterns in CHD varied by age, with lower mortality in adults and higher mortality in children. Streptococcus infective endocarditis was more common in adults with CHD, whereas Staphylococcus aureus was less frequent across CHD age groups. These results highlight the need for age-specific and individualised endocarditis management in CHD.
