Surgical Treatment for Active Infective Endocarditis: Primary Operation, In-Hospital Mortality
2017 – 2021, N = 529
The in-hospital mortality rates for patients who had primary operations for infective endocarditis at Cleveland Clinic were lower than expected rates, despite a high-risk patient population. Calculated observed to expected ratios remain less than the value of 1 indicating that Cleveland Clinic mortality is better than expected in these procedures.
| Year | O:E (observed to expected mortality ratio) |
|---|---|
| 2017 | 0.7 |
| 2018 | 0.7 |
| 2019 | 0.5 |
| 2020 | 0.6 |
| 2021 | 0.6 |

Surgical Treatment for Active Infective Endocarditis: Reoperation, In-Hospital Mortality
2017 – 2021, N = 2969
The in-hospital mortality rates for patients who had reoperations for infective endocarditis at Cleveland Clinic were lower than the expected rate. Calculated observed to expected ratios remain less than the value of 1 indicating that Cleveland Clinic mortality is better than expected in these procedures.
