INTRODUCTION: Although infectious endocarditis (IE) is a potentially severe infectious disease, there are no prognostic tools for in-hospital mortality for IE patients. This is the first report documenting that the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score could evaluate the severity and outcome among IE patients.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 2007 to 2018, we reviewed all patients who were diagnosed as having IE at our institue. Patients diagnosed as definite IE according to the modified Duke criteria or by surgical procedure were included in this study.

RESULTS: A total of 66 IE patients were enrolled in this study. They were 45 males (68%) and the median age was 70 years. As for prognostic factors for in-hospital death among IE patients, SOFA score ≥6, CCI ≥3, surgical procedure, heart failure, immunological phenomena and detection of S. aureus as a causative pathogen were identified as prognostic factors by univariate analysis. Of these 6 factors, SOFA score ≥6 (OR 7.6, 95%CI 1.3-46.6, p = 0.029), heart failure (OR 9.7, 95%CI 1.1-86.1, p = 0.042), surgery (OR 0.1, 95%CI 0-0.8, p = 0.037) and immunological phenomena (OR 0.1, 95%CI 0-0.9, p = 0.042) were independent prognostic factors for in-hospital mortality among IE by logistic regression analysis.

CONCLUSION: The SOFA score could be a good prognostic tool to use for IE patients. Also, SOFA score ≥6, surgery, immunological phenomena and heart failure were independent prognostic factors for in-hospital mortality among IE patients.
