“…It was found that odontogenic pathology did not cause the development of IE in patients of the study group, and in the control group it was noted in 12.5% of patients (p = 0.01, χ 2 = 6.20). The data obtained confirm the recommendations of foreign authors on the mandatory sanitation of the oral cavity of patients before surgery on the heart and great vessels, which has been introduced into the practice of leading cardiac surgery centres in the world [7,8]. It was found that the incidence of bronchopulmonary pathology in women in the study group was 29.2% and was statistically significantly higher than in patients in the control group -11.1% (p = 0.002, χ 2 = 9.18).…”

“…This can be explained by the fact that the control group included patients who underwent MV prosthetics, and therefore, valve-preserving operations were not possible in them. It is also known from the literature that oral cavity sanitation is mandatory before surgical intervention on the heart and great vessels, which is recognised and implemented in the practice of the world's leading cardiac surgery centres [7,8]. The incidence of other causes of IE in the comparative analysis between the study and control groups did not differ statistically significantly (p  0.05).…”

Objective. To determine the etiopathogenetic risk factors for the development of infective endocarditis, taking into account demographic and gender characteristics in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery. Materials and methods. The study included 107 patients who underwent mitral valve surgery. There were 74 men and 33 women. The age of the patients ranged from 20 to 76 years, with a mean age of (50.6 ± 4.8) years. All patients had a history of infective endocarditis with subsequent mitral valve disease. All patients underwent mitral valve repair/prosthetics at the Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine. Data from the primary medical records (medical histories, primary medical records, physical, clinical, laboratory and instrumental examinations) were used as the basis for the analysis. Results. Depending on the surgical treatment performed, patients were divided into two groups: experimental – 67 patients who underwent organ–preserving surgery (mitral valve repair), and control – 40 patients who underwent mitral valve prosthetics. The peculiarities of age and gender distribution of patients with mitral valve disease in the setting of infective endocarditis were studied. The frequency of etiopathogenetic risk factors for the development of infective endocarditis, taking into account the sex of patients in both study groups, was determined. Conclusions. Determination of etiopathogenetic risk factors for the development of infective endocarditis is extremely important, as it allows to plan surgical treatment and rehabilitation period taking into account all anamnestic features of the patient.

Implementation of a standardized oral screening tool by paediatric cardiologists

et al. 2020

Background: An examination of invasive procedure cancellations found that the lack of pre-procedural oral screening was a preventable cause, for children with congenital heart disease. The purpose of this study was to implement an oral screening tool within the paediatric cardiology clinic, with referral to paediatric dental providers for positive screens. The target population were children aged ≥6 months to <18 years old, being referred for cardiac procedures. Methods: The quality implementation framework method was used for this study design. The multi-modal intervention included education, audit and feedback, screening guidelines, environmental support, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Baseline rates for oral screenings were determined by retrospective chart audit from January 2018 to January 2019 (n = 211). Provider adherence to the oral screening tool was the outcome measure. Positive oral screens, resulting in referral to the paediatric dental clinic, were measured as a secondary outcome. Provider adherence rates were used as a process measure. Results: Data collected over 14 weeks showed a 29% increase in documentation of oral screenings prior to referral, as compared to the retrospective chart audit. During the study period, 13% of completed screenings were positive (n = 5). Provider compliance for the period was averaged at 70% adherence. Conclusion: A substantial increase in pre-procedural oral screenings by paediatric cardiologists was achieved using the quality implementation framework and targeted interventions.
