Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main cohort study: 1. Presence or absence of infective endocarditis and/or complicated SAB, as classified by study adjudication committee at the end of the study based on all clinical information up to 90 days after discharge. cCT sub-study: 1. Diagnostic accuracy of cardiac CT for the diagnosis of endocarditis in patients with SAB. qPCR sub-study: 1. Diagnostic accuracy of qPCR for the diagnosis of complicated SAB and SA-IE bacteraemia in patients with SAB. Biobank sub-study: 1. The diagnostic and prognostic value of host response biomarkers during antimicrobial therapy for the diagnosis of complicated SAB and SA-IE | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main cohort study: 1. Diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values) of clinical criteria for the diagnosis of endocarditis and/or complicated SAB 2 Exploratory analysis of differences in bacterial virulence factor expression between patients with uncomplicated SAB and patients with SA-IE and/or patients with complicated SAB. 3. Infection related mortality and morbidity, as classified by study adjudication committee at the end of the study based on all clinical information up to 90 days after discharge 4. Health care related costs up to 90 days after discharge. 5. Quality of life (as measured using EQ 5D 5L) on inclusion and 90 days after discharge. cCT sub-study: 1. Cost-effectiveness of a cardiac-CT-for-all algorithm in patients with SAB, compared to normal diagnostic work flow. 2. Cost-effectiveness of a cardiac-CT algorithm only for patients classified as high-risk according to clinical criteria. 3. Patient comfort during cCT compared to TEE. | — |
