U.S. Infective Endocarditis Mortality Trends and Disparities, 1999–2023

6,901 deaths from infective endocarditis were recorded in the United States in 2023, with an age-adjusted mortality rate of 2.58 per 100,000. This dataset, created by Juntao Li and published on figshare in 2026, analyzes national mortality data from 1999 to 2023, stratified by sex, age, race/ethnicity, region, and urban-rural classification. It includes calculations of excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic and uses age-period-cohort models to explore temporal patterns.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term mortality trends based on age-adjusted mortality rates from 1999 to 2023.
• Investigate demographic disparities based on stratification by sex, race/ethnicity, and age.
• Assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic based on excess mortality calculations for 2019–2023.
• Compare geographic patterns based on data stratified by region and urban-rural classification.
• Model temporal patterns based on age-period-cohort analysis results.

Strengths

• Data covers a 25-year period from 1999 to 2023.
• Analysis includes multiple demographic stratifications: sex, age, race/ethnicity, region, and urban-rural status.
• Uses national mortality data from the authoritative National Vital Statistics System.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (11.0 KB), indicating it likely contains aggregated summary statistics rather than individual-level records.
