About

The European Research Group on Outcomes of Surgical Treatment of Infective Endocarditis (ERGOSTE) is a nascent large surgical registry that would encompass most relevant aspects of IE in Europe in the contemporary era.

Full description

ERGOSTE, Purposes:

To create a European multicenter retrospective database including a large number of patients undergoing surgical treatment for infective endocarditis (IE).
To perform epidemiologic analyses of IE-patients and involved pathogens.
To find independent predictors of early post-operative death.
To test ALL the scoring systems specifically developed to predict early death after surgery for infective endocarditis.
To devise a specific risk score for early postoperative death.
To explore early and late outcomes of these very difficult patients in order to establish optimal indications, techniques and timing of surgery.
To carry out a number of sub-analyses concerning the demographic parameters and variable clinical presentation of patients, type and severity of cardiac structural involvement, adopted valve prostheses and surgical techniques, and different involved microbiologic agents.
To lay experiential foundations of a prospective database on the topic.
