The records of the patients admitted for IE to the University Hospital of Martinique between 2000 and 2012 were collected using an electronic case report form. Only Duke-Li definite cases were considered for this analysis. Variables associated with in-hospital mortality were tested using univariate logistic regression analysis. The analysis included 201 patients (median age 58 years, sex ratio: two males to one female). There was no previously known heart disease in 45.8%, a prosthetic valve in 21.4%, and previously known native valve disease in 32.8% of the cases. Community-acquired IE represented 59.7% of all cases, health-care-associated IE represented 38.3% and injection-drug-use-acquired IE represented 1.5%. Locations of IE were distributed as follows: 42.3% were mitral valve IE, 34.8% were aortic valve IE, and 7% were right-sided IE. Microorganisms recovered from blood cultures included 30.4% streptococci, 28.9% staphylococci, and 5% enterococci. Blood cultures were negative in 20.9% of the cases. Surgical treatment was performed in 53% of the patients. In-hospital case fatality rate was 19%. Advanced age, <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic> IE, and health-care-associated IE were associated with in-hospital case fatality. The epidemiological and microbiological profile of IE in FWI is in between those observed in developed countries and developing countries: patients were younger, blood cultures were more frequently negative, and IE due to group D streptococci and enterococci were less common than in industrialized countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.16-0514","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,11]],"date-time":"2017-04-11T07:00:07Z","timestamp":1491894007000},"page":"77-83","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Infective Endocarditis in French West Indies: A 13-Year Observational Study"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"Elisabeth","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, Medicine B, Hospital of Basse Terre, Guadeloupe, France;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claude","family":"Olive","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Bacteriology, University Hospital of Martinique, Fort-de-France, France;"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 des Antilles, EA 4537, Fort-de-France, France;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jocelyn","family":"Inamo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University Hospital of Martinique, Fort-de-France, France;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Roques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital of Martinique, Fort-de-France, France;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"Cabi\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 des Antilles, EA 4537, Fort-de-France, France;"},{"name":"INSERM, CIC1424, Cayenne, France;"},{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, University Hospital of Martinique, Fort-de-France, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Hochedez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 des Antilles, EA 4537, Fort-de-France, France;"},{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, University Hospital of Martinique, Fort-de-France, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"BMJ","first-page":"467","article-title":"The Gulstonian lectures, on malignant endocarditis","volume":"1","author":"Osler","year":"1885"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Eur Heart J","first-page":"2369","article-title":"Guidelines on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infective endocarditis (new version 2009): the Task Force on the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Infective Endocarditis of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)","volume":"30","author":"Habib","year":"2009"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Arch Intern Med","first-page":"463","article-title":"Clinical presentation, etiology, and outcome of infective endocarditis in the 21st century: the International Collaboration on Endocarditis-Prospective Cohort Study","volume":"169","author":"Murdoch","year":"2009"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"JAMA","first-page":"75","article-title":"Changing profile of infective endocarditis: results of a 1-year survey in France","volume":"288","author":"Hoen","year":"2002"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"J Am Coll Cardiol","first-page":"1968","article-title":"Temporal trends in infective endocarditis in the context of prophylaxis guideline modifications: three successive population-based surveys","volume":"59","author":"Duval","year":"2012"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"Clin Infect Dis","first-page":"1230","article-title":"Preeminence of Staphylococcus aureus in infective endocarditis: a 1-year population-based survey","volume":"54","author":"Selton-Suty","year":"2012"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"Lancet","first-page":"965","article-title":"Management of infective endocarditis: challenges and perspectives","volume":"379","author":"Thuny","year":"2012"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Glob Heart","first-page":"131","article-title":"Global and regional burden of infective endocarditis, 1990\u20132010: a systematic review of the literature","volume":"9","author":"Bin Abdulhak","year":"2014"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"Lancet","first-page":"882","article-title":"Infective endocarditis","volume":"387","author":"Cahill","year":"2016"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"Eur Heart J","first-page":"2003","article-title":"The impact of valve surgery on short- and long-term mortality in left-sided infective endocarditis: do differences in methodological approaches explain previous conflicting results?","volume":"32","author":"Bannay","year":"2011"},{"key":"ref11","series-title":"N Engl J Med","first-page":"1425","article-title":"Clinical practice.
