Article Abstract
Background: Endocarditis caused by infection is one of this infection's complications, including a high mortality rate. However, studies on the prevalence of this complication have been limited to some case reports. This study investigated the prevalence of endocarditis globally using a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched using appropriate keywords until September 2022. All studies reporting the prevalence of endocarditis in patients with brucellosis were included in this current study. To investigate the pooled prevalence of endocarditis, random model was used in comprehensive meta-analysis software.
Results: A total of 25 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The prevalence of endocarditis was 1.3%, and the death rate was 26.5%. The results did not show a significant difference in the prevalence of this complication in different regions.
Conclusion: According to this study's results, the prevalence of endocarditis is low, but it includes a large percentage of the deaths of affected patients. To complete our understanding of this complication and its management, more research should be done to investigate the effect of other factors, such as age and gender.

Tahiti or the "myth of Paradise", Bora Bora, "the Pearl of the Pacific". Who has never wanted to take a plane and come and land on the heavenly beaches of Polynesia, a French territory at the antipodes of mainland France lost in the middle of the Pacific? However, we do not imagine that 60% of Polynesians live below the metropolitan low-income threshold or that life expectancy is lower than that of the mainland due to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases with three quarters overweight population.In addition to non-transmissible metabolic diseases, various pathologies common to temperate countries present specificities in Polynesia, leading to sometimes different management and medical reasoning.

Blood culture-negative infective endocarditis (BCNE) constitutes an important subtype of infective endocarditis. Despite the rarity of BCNE, this subtype poses a significant diagnostic challenge and promotes a high mortality rate. Recent advances in diagnostic modalities have facilitated the rapid identification of BCNE.

Background: The incidence, epidemiology, and clinical characteristics of enterococcal bloodstream infection (BSI) have not previously been studied on a population-based level in the United States.
Methods: We utilized the Expanded Rochester Epidemiology Project medical records linkage system to conduct a contemporary 5-year, retrospective, population-based study of monomicrobial enterococcal (ME) BSI among adult residents of 8 counties in southeast Minnesota from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022.
Results: A total of 109 cases of ME-BSI were identified.

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of double-valve replacement (DVR) using bovine pericardial and porcine bioprostheses, using a nationwide administrative claims database.
Methods: Adult patients (age ≥40 years) who underwent bioprosthetic DVR between 2003 and 2018 were identified from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. The outcomes of interest were all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, and valve-related events, including the incidences of reoperation, endocarditis, systemic thromboembolism, and major bleeding.

Background: Diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) is a significant challenge. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of the 2015 and 2023 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the 2023 International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases (ISCVID) Duke clinical criteria in a cohort of patients with suspected IE and intracardiac prosthetic material.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at 2 Swiss University Hospitals (2014-2024).
