A Machine Learning–Based Risk Score for Prediction of Infective Endocarditis Among Patients With Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia—The SABIER Score

Early risk assessment is needed to stratify Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis (SA-IE) risk among patients with S. aureus bacteremia (SAB) to guide clinical management. The objective of the current study was to develop a novel risk score that is independent of subjective clinical judgment and can be used early, at the time of blood culture positivity.
