Patients were grouped into those with or without IE on at least 5 years of follow\u2010up. Baseline clinical, echocardiographic profile and clinical outcomes were compared.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>: IE was observed in 4.4% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 21) of the cohort. These patients were younger (45.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a014.6 vs. 53.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a015.5 years, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.022) at the time of MS diagnosis. NT\u2010proBNP was higher in patients who developed IE (13529 \u00b1 12230 vs. 4381 \u00b1 5875 pg\/ml, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001), with larger left atrial diameter (54.4 \u00b1 10.1 vs. 49.9 \u00b1 9.5 mm, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.040) and elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP, 62.3 \u00b1 17.2 vs. 47.2 \u00b1 16.5 mmHg, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.026). There was no significant difference in terms of MS severity, other concomitant valvulopathies, or etiology (rheumatic or degenerative) of MS. Patients who smoked had higher incidence of IE (33.3% vs. 14.2%, log\u2010rank 7.27, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.007). After adjusting for age, valve procedure and PASP, patients who smoked remained at elevated risk of IE (adjusted hazards ratio 2.99, 95% confidence interval 1.18\u20137.56, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.021).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>: IE occurs in a proportion of patients with MS. Smoking, younger age of diagnosis of MS as well as dilated left atria with elevated PASP may be associated with an elevated risk of this
