Increasing US Rates of <emph type="ital" /> Endocarditis With <emph type="ital">Staphylococcus aureus</emph>: 1999-2008

Abstract excerpt

Estimates of the incidence and impact of bacterial infective endocarditis (IE) have been limited by the infrequency of the disease. Administrative data analyses can provide important information across a broad range of hospitals and regions. We used a recent, nationally representative sample to estimate the incidence of hospitalizations for bacterial IE in the United States.
