Prevalence and Mortality of Infective Endocarditis in Community-Acquired and Healthcare-Associated <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Bacteremia: A Danish Nationwide Registry-Based Cohort Study

Abstract

Community-acquired SAB was associated with twice the odds for IE, as compared with healthcare-associated SAB. We identified no significant difference in short-term mortality between community-acquired and healthcare-associated SAIE. Beyond 40 days of survival, community-acquired SAIE was associated with a lower mortality.
