Incidence and predictive factors of mortality of infective endocarditis in adults with congenital heart disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Congenital heart diseases (CHD) with abnormal turbulent blood flow are associated with the highest risk of infective endocarditis (IE). Despite advancement in diagnostics and treatment, the mortality rate of IE remains high due the life-threatening complications. Our study aims to assess the incidence and mortality rates of IE and predictive factors for mortality among adults CHD (ACHD).
