Abstract: Background: Social determinants of health (SDOH) are well-recognized contributors of disparities in cardiovascular disease. Yet, the association of socioeconomic disadvantage with outcomes following operative management of infectious endocarditis (IE) remains ill-defined. Methods: Nonelective adult (≥18 years) hospitalizations entailing cardiac valve operations for IE were tabulated from the 2016–2021 Nationwide Readmissions Database.

Multivariable regression models were developed to examine the association of socioeconomic disadvantage with key endpoints.
