2023 Duke–ISCVID criteria

Classifies suspected infective endocarditis as definite, possible or rejected by combining pathological, major and minor criteria.

Arithmetic checks are available. Independent clinical review is pending. Inclusion in the catalogue does not constitute clinical validation.

Duke-ISCVID 2023: selected Table 1 combinations; the surgical major criterion is subject to Table 2, I.C, requiring the absence of a major imaging criterion and of subsequent confirmation; no automatic equivalence with Duke 2000

The Duke-ISCVID 2023 criteria depend on specific definitions for microbiology, imaging, intraoperative inspection and predisposing conditions. Some microorganisms are classified as typical only in the presence of an intracardiac prosthesis. The 2023 edition also changes culture requirements from the previous edition; counts alone without these definitions do not reproduce the complete system. Table 2, section I.C, restricts the surgical major criterion to the absence of a major imaging criterion and subsequent histologic or microbiologic confirmation. In this interface, selecting the pathological criterion prevents an additional surgical major count; the blood microbiological major criterion remains separate. The person completing the form must check subsequent confirmation and the source definitions: the Boolean fields do not record the entire chronology or how findings were established. This check corrects only this count and its selected combinations; it does not validate diagnosis, clinical performance, treatment or the complete method.

Conditions of use

Check the population, units, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and version in the original source. A result alone does not establish a diagnosis, discharge decision or prescription.

Documented parameters

  • Pathological criterion: microorganism in vegetation, cardiac tissue, prosthesis or embolus (culture, histology or PCR), or active endocarditis on histology
  • Major microbiological criterion: typical organism in ≥ 2 separate blood cultures, occasional organism in ≥ 3, blood PCR positive for Coxiella, Bartonella or T. whipplei, or specific serology (phase I IgG against C. burnetii > 1:800; IgG against Bartonella ≥ 1:800)
  • Major imaging criterion: vegetation, perforation, aneurysm, abscess, pseudoaneurysm or fistula on echocardiography/cardiac CT; significant new valvular regurgitation; new prosthetic dehiscence; or abnormal FDG uptake on PET/CT in a valve or lead
  • Surgical major criterion: endocarditis documented by direct inspection during cardiac surgery, only in the absence of a major imaging criterion and subsequent histologic or microbiologic confirmation
  • Minor: predisposition (previous endocarditis, prosthetic valve, valve repair, congenital heart disease, valve regurgitation or stenosis, intracardiac device, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, injection drug use)
  • Minor: fever > 38.0 °C
  • Minor: vascular phenomena (arterial embolism, septic pulmonary infarction, cerebral or splenic abscess, mycotic aneurysm, intracranial hemorrhage, conjunctival hemorrhage, Janeway lesions, purulent purpura)
  • Minor: immunological phenomena (positive rheumatoid factor, Osler nodes, Roth spots, immune-complex glomerulonephritis)
  • Minor: microbiological evidence that does not meet a major criterion
  • Minor: abnormal FDG PET/CT within 3 months of prosthesis, graft or device implantation
  • Minor: new regurgitant murmur on physical examination if echocardiography is unavailable
  • Rejected: a firm alternative diagnosis explains the presentation
  • Rejected: no recurrence after fewer than 4 days of antibiotic therapy
  • Rejected: no pathological evidence at surgery or autopsy, with fewer than 4 days of antibiotic therapy

8/8 reference cases checked. Numerical tests are not clinical validation.

General context — relationship to be defined

A resource for general clinical contexts. This edition does not assign a specific oncological relationship; selecting it for a study requires a justified question, population and purpose.
