ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Increasing use of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED), as permanent pacemakers (PPM), implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD), or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), is associated with the emergence of CIED-related infective endocarditis (CIED-IE). We aimed to characterize CIED-IE profile, temporal trends, and prognostic factors.METHODS:
CIED-IE diagnosed at Rennes University Hospital during years 1992-2017 were identified through computerized database, and included if they presented all of the following (1) clinical signs of infection; (2) microbiological documentation through blood and/or CIED lead cultures; (3) lead or valve vegetation, or definite IE according to Duke criteria. Data were retrospectively extracted from medical charts. The cohort was categorized in three periods 1992-1999, 2000-2008, and 2009-2017.RESULTS:
We included 199 patients (51 women, 148 men, median age 73 years [interquartile range, 64-79]), with CIED-IE 158 PPMs (79%), 24 ICD (12%), and 17 CRT (9%). Main pathogens were coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS n = 86, 43%), Staphylococcus aureus (n = 60, 30%), and other Gram-positive cocci (n = 28, 14%). Temporal trends were remarkable for the decline in CoNS (P = 0.002), and the emergence of S. aureus as the primary cause of CIED-IE (24/63 in 2009-2017, 38%). Factors independently associated with one-year mortality were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD hazard ratio 3.84 [1.03-6.02], P = 0.03), left-sided endocarditis (HR 2.25 [1.09-4.65], P = 0.03), pathogens other than CoNS (HR 3.16 [1.19-8.39], P = 0.02), and CIED removal/reimplantation (HR 0.41 [0.20-0.83], P = 0.01).CONCLUSIONS:
S. aureus has emerged as the primary cause of CIED-IE. Left-sided endocarditis, COPD, pathogens other than CoNS, and no CIED removal/reimplantation are independent risk factors for one-year mortality.Palavras-chave
