Prevalence and adjusted risk of IE. The figure illustrates the IE prevalence in different streptococcal species. In addition, a multivariable logistic regression analysis of the IE risk, adjusted for age, sex, ≥3 positive blood culture bottles, and risk factors, is presented. S. pneumoniae BSI is set as a reference. The results are presented as OR (95% CI). The figure is partly adapted from the main study [9]. .a adjusted for age, sex, ≥3 positive blood culture bottles, native valve disease, prosthetic valve, previous IE, and cardiac device. b The exact number cannot be presented due to microdata. BSI, bloodstream infection; CI confidence interval; IE, infective endocarditis; OR, odds ratio. Green: low-risk species (IE prevalence < 3%), yellow: moderate-risk species (IE prevalence 3–10%), orange: high-risk species (IE prevalence 10–30%), red: very high-risk species (IE prevalence > 30%)
