Performance of Different Versions of Duke Criteria in Diagnosing Infective Endocarditis in Patients With Intracardiac Prosthetic Materials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) is a significant challenge. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of the 2015 and 2023 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the 2023 International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases (ISCVID) Duke clinical criteria in a cohort of patients with suspected IE and intracardiac prosthetic material.

Methods

This retrospective study was conducted at 2 Swiss University Hospitals (2014-2024). The reference standard was the diagnosis of the Endocarditis Team or expert clinicians. Patients with IE (reference standard) classified as definite IE by the Duke criteria were considered true positives, while those without IE classified as rejected IE were considered true negatives.
