ORGANIZATION OF PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS IN KAZAKHSTAN: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY AMONG CARDIOLOGISTS
Introduction. The prevention of infective endocarditis (IE) is a crucial aspect of reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition. Recent research on the global burden of disease (GBD) has documented a significant rise in the incidence of IE over the past 30 years. However, certain countries have managed to achieve a reduction in IE rates, prompting inquiries into the efficacy of cardiology services in preventing IE and adherence to established guidelines across various nations. The objective of this study is to identify the necessary initiatives to optimize the functioning of cardiology services for the prevention of IE.
Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving cardiology physicians. The questionnaire was structured using a Likert scale. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA and Fisher's methods, and data were analyzed with SPSS software (version 26.0).
Results. A total of 60 cardiology physicians participated in the survey. According to the data, more than half of the participants (85%) indicated the absence of an "Endocarditis Team" within their institutions. A significant majority of respondents (96.7%) emphasized the need to establish an interdisciplinary council. Additionally, 98.3% of the participants acknowledged the importance of creating national guidelines for the prevention of IE.
Conclusions. The results of this study indicate a significant need to optimize the functioning of cardiovascular services with a specific focus on the prevention of IE.
