The Epidemiology Change From 2006 to 2022 of Infective Endocarditis in Taiwan

Infective endocarditis has long been one of the significant diseases causing death and disability worldwide. Its incidence has shown an increasing trend over the past few decades. Moreover, there seems to be significant variation in prevalence and epidemiology in different geographic regions and countries. This study aims to understand the trends and changes in the epidemiology of infective endocarditis in Taiwan from the 2006s to the present. Through a retrospective database analysis using the "Taiwan Healthcare System Integration Database," the goal is to improve the prognosis of infective endocarditis treatment in Taiwan.
