The ENDOCARDITIS AUMC Data Collection

The investigators will compare patients with and without infective ndocarditis undergoing valve surgery and evaluate factors that may help optimise perioperative care of these high-risk patients.

About this study

The aim of this study is to examine the differences between patients with and without endocarditis who undergo cardiothoracic (valve) surgery. In addition, the investigators will look at the differences between endocarditis patients who undergo surgery, and those who are treated conservatively. The investigators will look at incidence and degree of perioperative coagulation abnormalities, as well as transfusion and coagulation factor requirements, heparin resistance, bleeding scores, predictive endocarditis mortality scores, vasopressor-inotrope scores, and relate these where possible to the pathogen causing IE. The investigators will also look at perioperative complications, in particular, thromboembolic events and mortality at 30 and 90 days, and at 1 year.

These outcomes may help optimise perioperative care for high-risk endocarditis patients, and in particular those undergoing valve surgery.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients > 18 years
  • Dutch or English speaking
  • All patients with infective endocarditis admitted to Amsterdam UMC in the study period
  • All patients with infective endocarditis scheduled for cardiac valve surgery compared to a matched cohort of patients scheduled for similar surgery due to non-infectious indication in Amsterdam UMC in the same period

Exclusion criteria

  • Previous history of coagulation disorders

Treatment and study plan

None, observational

Other

Patients with infective endocarditis who do and do not undergo valve surgery compared with patientswithout endocarditis, who are operated on with similar valve surgery

Primary outcomes

  1. Thromboembolic complications

    Time frame: up to 1 year

    Any thromboembolic complications occuring between surgery and 1 year post operatively (incidence, class and severity)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of perioperative coagulation abnormalities

    Time frame: First 24 hours after surgery

    How often perioperative coagulation abnormalities, measured by classical laboratory values and rotational thromboelastometry are seen from diagnosis to 24 hours post-surgery

  2. Differences in incidence of pathogens and the relation with disease severity

    Time frame: Up to 30 days

    To evaluate the effect of different pathogens (evaluated by laboratory results) on the clinical status
