Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed data from 5667 patients diagnosed with infective endocarditis (IE) across 46 hospitals in Spain from 2008 to 2021, finding that only 1.7% were HIV-infected.
- HIV-infected patients tended to be younger, predominantly male, and had specific features like higher rates of tricuspid location and community-acquired infections, but fewer surgical interventions.
- Despite these differences, the study concluded that HIV status did not significantly affect in-hospital or one-year mortality rates for patients with IE.
