Title
Prediction rules for ruling out endocarditis in patients with <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> bacteremia
Abstract
Background: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is in 10% to 20% of cases complicated by infective endocarditis (SA-IE). Clinical prediction scores may select SAB patients at highest risk for endocarditis, improving the diagnostic process of endocarditis. We compared the accuracy of the POSITIVE, PREDICT and VIRSTA scores for classifying the likelihood of endocarditis in SAB patients.
