“…Razmerje med moškimi in ženskami se približa 2:1 in je podobno tipičnemu razmerju v ostalih raziskavah (7,10,11). Delež intravenskih uživalcev drog med bolniki z IE je med državami zelo različen (3,4,6,7). Delež teh bolnikov je bil v regionalni bolnišni-ci nekoliko večji, kot ga opažajo v terciarnem centru, kar je v skladu z dejstvom, da je po podatkih Nacionalnega inštituta za javno zdravje v obalno-kraški regiji približno dvakrat večje število odvisnikov od intravenskih drog v primerjavi s slovenskim povprečjem; odvisniki v tej regiji so tudi starejši od slovenskega povprečja (12).…”

“…Delež negativnih hemokultur (8 %) je primerljiv z večjimi raziskavami (7,8,14) ter bistveno manjši kot v čeških (34 %) in poljskih bolnišnicah (4). Med naši-mi bolniki so bili najpogosteje izolirani streptokoki (47 %) in stafilokoki (29 %), delež enterokokov (4 %) in ostalih povzročiteljev pa je manjši.…”

V novejših raziskavah na večjem številu bolnikov med povzročitelji prevladujejo stafilokoki, opisujejo bistveno manjše deleže streptokokov ter večje deleže enterokokov in koagulazno negativnih stafilokokov kot pri naših bolnikih (4,5,7,8,15). Starejše raziskave ter tudi nekatere novejše raziskave na manjšem številu bolnikov opisujejo podobno visok delež streptokokov kot pri nas (3,13,16,17).…”

Introduction: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious disease with a high mortality rate and is defned as an inﬂammation of the endocardium, caused by microorganisms. Most data about IE originate from referral hospitals, therefore we aimed to analyse the demographics, presentation, diagnostics, treatment and outcome of IE at a regional hospital (Izola General Hospital–SBI) in a 10-year period.Methods: We analysed 51 episodes of IE and compared patients who were treated at a regional hospital alone, to those transferred to a referral centre. We also included data about all IE patients in a large referral hospital (University Medical Centre Ljubljana–UMCL).Results: Gender and age of the patients in SBI were similar to UMCL patients, however, there was a slightly higher share of IE in drug users and lower of prosthetic valve endocarditis. Our patients more often had streptococcal and less often staphylococcal endocarditis. Fewer patients needed surgery and time to operation was 17 days (median). Twenty-six percent of the patients died in the hospital. Approximately a half of the patients were transferred to a referral hospital, more often younger patients and women. The transferred patients often underwent surgery.Conclusions: Good cooperation with a referral hospital ensures that the outcome and other data of IE patients treated at a regional hospital are comparable to those in the literature. Some diﬀerences between patients treated in the regional hospital and the referral centre were observed. Time from admission to surgery could be shortened.

“…Actualmente los agentes etiológicos más comunes de pericarditis siguen siendo cocáceas grampositivas (64%) y de ellos los más comunes son Staphylococcus aureus que habitualmente se acompaña de endocarditis 12 y Streptococcus pneumoniae, en tanto que para los bacilos gramnegativos es Haemophilus influenzae 13 . Los factores de riesgo para la pericarditis bacteriana en la era post-antibiótica son la cirugía torácica reciente, enfermedad renal crónica, alcoholismo, artritis reumatoide e inmunosupresión con neoplasias malignas asociadas [12][13][14] .…”

Maternal Understanding of Infective Endocarditis After Hospitalization: Assessing the Knowledge of Mothers of Children with Congenital Heart Disease and the Practical Implications

This study aimed to examine the knowledge of mothers of children with congenital heart disease as well as the association of cardiological factors and maternal characteristics with maternal understanding. Mothers of 135 children (≤2 years old) were interviewed to assess maternal knowledge of infective endocarditis (IE) using the Hannover Inventory of Parental Knowledge of Congenital Heart Disease. Two subscales, endocarditis and risk factors, were used. Cardiological data as well as maternal characteristics were collected. Two-thirds of the mothers achieved only low scores, answering 0-20 % of the questions correctly (endocarditis = 64.4 %; risk factors = 71.1 %). Mothers with higher education recalled the correct definition of IE (P = 0.001) and the importance of dental hygiene (P = 0.004) more often. Mothers with only one child were more likely to know the most typical symptom (P = 0.007). The severity of the heart disease and the requirement of endocarditis prophylaxis did not influence maternal understanding. Yet, mothers assessing the heart disease as severe showed better knowledge (typical symptom P = 0.021; importance of dental hygiene P = 0.007). If mothers learned the diagnosis before their child's birth, they remembered relevant information more often. Mothers receiving information by the medical staff and from the Internet showed better knowledge (definition P = 0.014; importance of dental hygiene P = 0.001). Due to low levels of knowledge, more efforts must be put into the education of mothers. Educational programs should take maternal characteristics into account, providing written material and thereby keeping the instruction of lower-educated persons in mind. Furthermore, education should be focused on mothers of children requiring IE prophylaxis.
