| Beschreibung: | Background: Non-β-hemolytic streptococci (NBHS) cause blood stream infections (BSI) which can be complicated by infective endocarditis (IE). To stratify the risk for IE in NBHS BSI and to guide the use of echocardiography in this condition, two risk stratification systems (RSSs), the HANDOC score (HANDOC), and the Chamat-Hedemand algorithm (CH-A) have been developed. Objectives: To compare the sensitivity and the specificity of HANDOC and CH-A and to describe how the utilization of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) would be affected using either HANDOC or CH-A. Methods: A retrospective, population-based cohort study of patients with blood cultures positive for NBHS during 2018 was performed. Medical records of the included patients were studied for classification of the episodes according to HANDOC, CH-A, and the Duke-ISCVID criteria. Results: Three hundred and twenty-five episodes of NBHS BSIs involving 308 patients were included. Twenty-one episodes (6.5%) met the Duke-ISCVID criteria for definite IE. TEE was performed in 26% of episodes. HANDOC had a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 73% for definite IE whereas CH-A had a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 63%. The CH-A outcome 'any echocardiography' had a sensitivity of 100% for definite IE, but the specificity was only 24%. In this cohort, implementation of the RSSs would lead to an increase in the utilization of TEE compared to the real-life use, both when using HANDOC (+22%) and CH-A (+60%). Conclusion: HANDOC had the highest combined sensitivity and sensitivity for IE. The utilization of TEE would increase using these RSSs, especially the CH-A. |
