DENOVA Score
- Berge A, Krantz A, Östlund H, Nauclér P, Rasmussen M. The DENOVA score efficiently identifies patients with monomicrobial Enterococcus faecalis bacteremia where echocardiography is not necessary. Infection. 2019 Feb;47(1):45-50.
- Determines need for echocardiography
- Components:
- 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
