| Data ID | 3191 |
| Factor | risk of IE with foreign material implantation undergoing cardiac surgery |
| Description | IE=infective endocarditis |
| Biomarker | NA |
| Classification | A10 (clinical factor - risk factor) |
| Association | |
|---|---|
| Application | risk assessment and prognosis |
| Objective | We aimed to assess the impact of cardiac interventions on the frequency and microbial profile of IE in children with CHD. |
| p Value | 0.04 |
| OR | 9.3 |
| Conclusion | Cardiac intervention in children with CHD does not increase the risk for IE. Postinterventional IE in children with CHD is strongly linked to implantation of foreign material, especially of pacemaker. |
