Risk of endocarditis in patients with bacteraemia by coagulase-negative staphylococci; a multicenter retrospective cohort
In episodes with CoNS bacteraemia, IE should be strongly suspected in those with persistent bacteraemia, prosthetic intracardiac material, non-nosocomial onset, S. lugdunensis bacteraemia, embolic complications. While the 2023 ISCVID criteria improve sensitivity, their lower specificity highlights the need for further refinement of diagnostic algorithms.
