Fifty-three cases of staphylococcal endocarditis from a national endocarditis survey were analyzed for risk factors and outcome. Thirty of 53 patients had predisposing heart disease (39.6% rheumatic fever) but only 3 were on dialysis, only 2 had central venous catheter, only 2 intravenous drug abuse but 7 had prior cardiosurgery. Mortality was 39.6%. In analyzing risk factors for death, attributable mortality was significantly associated with skin infections (P < 0.05), embolization (P < 0.02), inappropriate therapy (P < 0.005) either because of too short therapy (P < 0.003) or wrong antibiotic combination (P < 0.01). Surgical therapy was associated with better outcome (4.8% deaths vs. 31.2% survivors, P < 0.04).
