The role of time to positive blood cultures in enhancing the predictive capability of DENOVA score for diagnosing infective endocarditis in patients with Enterococcus faecalis bacteremia
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases(2024)
摘要
DENOVA-score is useful to stratify the risk of infective endocarditis (IE) in Enterococcus faecalis bacteremia. Recently, time to positive (TTP) of blood cultures has also been related with a higher risk of IE. The objective was to evaluate DENOVA- score with TTP to improve its specificity. We performed a retrospective, case–control study in adult patients with E. faecalis bacteremia. Thirty-nine patients with definite E. faecalis IE and 82 with E. faecalis bacteremia were included. The addition of a TTP ≤ 8 h to DENOVA-score did not improve the diagnostic accuracy of this score.
