Does Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) management improve short-term mortality in patients with Infective Endocarditis?
Multidisciplinary team management is significantly associated with improved short-term mortality in patients with infective endocarditis.
This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the impact of MDT management on IE. The sum of evidence demonstrated a significant association between MDTs and improved short-term mortality. Further research is needed to evaluate benefits of virtual MDT care, cost-effectiveness, and the impact on patient-reported outcomes and long-term mortality.
Roy et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
