Belgian Infective Endocarditis Registry

The objective of this prospective observational registry is to study patients di-agnosed with infective endocarditis (IE) and to gather comprehensive long-term outcome data, including mortality rates and IE-related complications (e.g., thromboembolic events, (hospitalization for) heart failure, valve surgery and IE recurrence) at one, three-, and five-years post-enrollment. Additionally, the registry will document epidemiological characteristics, clinical presentation at baseline, biochemical and microbiological profiles, relevant comorbidities and risk factors, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic interventions, including an-timicrobial therapy and surgical procedures.
