Özet

Objective: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare disease with a high mortality. Therefore, prognostic markers can play an important role in the follow-up. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the D-dimer (DD) level and in-hospital mortality and complications in patients with IE, because DD indicates both the fibrin turnover in vegetation and the autoimmune inflammatory response in patients with IE.
