The median (Q1-Q3) age was 57 (44\u201368) years, with an increasing pattern (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Throughout the study period, the prevalence of intracardiac devices increased, whereas the prevalence of degenerative and congenital heart diseases declined. Among all patients, the most frequently identified pathogens were staphylococci (36.4%), followed by streptococci (14.0%) and enterococci (11.9%). Throughout the three periods, there was a significant increase in staphylococci, with <jats:italic>S. aureus<\/jats:italic> emerging as the predominant pathogen in all type IE. The in-hospital mortality rate among all patients was 22.5%.
