Abstract

Introduction: Chronic liver disease is known to be an important prognostic factor in determining morbidity and mortality in preoperative risk assessment and mortality in general. Data are limited on outcomes in patients with infective endocarditis (IE) and comorbid concurrent liver cirrhosis. Objective of our study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patient with IE with and without underlying liver cirrhosis and determining in-hospital mortality and outcomes of interest i.e. renal failure, cardiogenic shock, hematologic (coagulopathy/thrombocytopenia) and hepatic complications (hepatic encephalopathy/hepatitis). Hypothesis: Liver Cirrhosis worsen clinical outcomes in patients with IE. Methods: Patients with principle diagnosis of IE with and without liver cirrhosis were identified by querying the Healthcare Cost and Utilization (HCUP) database, specifically, National Inpatient Sample for year 2013 and 2014 based on ICD9 codes. Results: During 2013 and 2014, a total of 17, 952 p...
