DEPOSIT Score (Device-Related IE) Calculator

  • Age (years)
  • Device type (1 = pacemaker, 2 = ICD, 3 = CRT)
  • Prior device infection (0 = No, 1 = Yes)
  • Diabetes mellitus (0 = No, 1 = Yes)
  • Renal failure (0 = No, 1 = Yes)
  • DEPOSIT Score: Explanation and Clinical Context
    The DEPOSIT (Device-related Endocarditis Prediction) Score is a validated tool to estimate the risk of infective endocarditis in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).
    It incorporates patient age, device type (pacemaker, ICD, CRT), prior device-related infections, comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, and renal failure.
    Higher scores indicate increased risk for device-related infective endocarditis, guiding clinicians in early diagnosis, monitoring, and management.
