* Risk stratified for [[endocarditis]] that has been validated in a Swedish cohort [[CiteRef::sunnerhagen2017ha]] |
|||
* Criteria: |
|||
** Heart murmur or preexisting valve disease, including prosthetic valve |
|||
** Aetiology with the groups of [[Streptococcus mutans]], [[Streptococcus bovis]], [[Streptococcus sanguinis]], or [[Streptococcus anginosus]] |
|||
** Number of positive blood cultures ≥2 |
|||
** Duration of symptoms of 7 days or more |
|||
** Only 1 species growing in blood cultures |
|||
** Community-acquired infection |
|||
* Interpretation: |
|||
** Score <3, IE is effectively excluded |
|||
** Score ≥3, cannot exclude IE |
