Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia, cardiac implantable electronic device, and the risk of endocarditis: a retrospective population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Patients with cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) and Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) are at risk of having infective endocarditis (IE). The objectives were to describe a Swedish population-based cohort of patients with CIED and SAB, to identify risk factors, and to construct a predictive score for IE. Patients over 18 years old in the Stockholm Region identified to have SAB in the Karolinska Laboratory database from January 2015 through December 2019 were matched to the Swedish Pacemaker and Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator ICD Registry to identify the study cohort.
