Comparison of categorical variables were performed using Chi- square test and Fisher’s exact test. Survival probabilities were calculated using the Kaplan–Meier methods. Cox-regression models were used to compare mortality rates. Infective endocarditis according to Duke criteria was regarded as the independent variable. IBM SPSS PASW Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0 were used for statistical analysis. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
A p value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. IBM SPSS PASW Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0 were used for statistical analysis. Statistical calculations were performed using Chi- square test, Fisher’s test, and Kaplan–Meier analyses.
