Brief Summary:
The European Research Group on Outcomes of Surgical Treatment of Infective Endocarditis (ERGOSTE) is a nascent large surgical registry that would encompass most relevant aspects of IE in Europe in the contemporary era.
Detailed Description:
ERGOSTE, Purposes:
* To create a European multicenter retrospective database including a large number of patients undergoing surgical treatment for infective endocarditis (IE).
* To perform epidemiologic analyses of IE-patients and involved pathogens.
* To find independent predictors of early post-operative death.
* To test ALL the scoring systems specifically developed to predict early death after surgery for infective endocarditis.
* To devise a specific risk score for early postoperative death.
* To explore early and late outcomes of these very difficult patients in order to establish optimal indications, techniques and timing of surgery.
* To carry out a number of sub-analyses concerning the demographic parameters and variable clinical presentation of patients, type and severity of cardiac structural involvement, adopted valve prostheses and surgical techniques, and different involved microbiologic agents.
* To lay experiential foundations of a prospective database on the topic.
