A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study at Odense University Hospital examines the impact of changing preoperative dental screening protocols on the risk of infective endocarditis (IE) in patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). The study compares the incidence of IE before and after the implementation of a targeted dental screening approach, which was modified from a mandatory protocol. By analyzing registry data, the researchers aim to provide insights into the effectiveness of dental screenings in reducing IE risk among this patient population.
