Beschreibungen/Notizen

• 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.
