- Abstract
Objectives: This study was designed to examine haematological changes in infective endocarditis (IE) and the association between laboratory findings and mortality or complications including events in IE. Materials and methods: Forty-four patients who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of IE at the Department of Cardiology, Dicle University, Ataturk University and Harran University, from June 2007 to June 2011, were retrospectively evaluated. The diagnosis of IE was made clinically and was confirmed with Duke's criteria. The haematological and biochemical parameters were recorded. Results: Age, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, mean platelet volume and complication rate (p <0.004, p <0.05, p <0.03, p <0.05, p <0.01, p <0.004, respectively) were elevated in patients who died due to infective endocarditis compared with patients who survived. However, platelet count were lower in patients died (p <0.05). Additionally, patients who developed complications were no difference laboratory findings compared with patients without complications. Conclusion: Age, MPV and presence of complications can be used as risk factors for mortality in IE. In addition, S.aureus is associated with complications.
