DENOVA Score

  • Determines need for echocardiography2
  • Criteria:
    • Duration of symptoms (≥7 days)
    • Embolization (clinical or radiographic)
    • Number of positive cultures ≥2
    • Origin of infection unknown
    • Valve disease: native valve disease, previous IE, or the presence of a valve prosthesis
    • Auscultation of murmur (any)
  • A cutoff of ≥3 had sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 85% for endocarditis
