| Objective | Despite developments in preventative and medical therapy, infective endocarditis (IE) carries a high rate of mortality. Risk factors for mortality are unknown in pediatric and adult patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).The present study aimed to determine the risk factors for mortality in pediatric and adult patients with CHD using a nationwide survey in Japan. |

| OR | 5.68 |
| Conclusion | The analysis revealed that vegetation size >=20 mm, age <1 year, presence of heart failure, and S. aureus as a causative organism were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality. |
