PADIT Score (Cardiac Device Infection Risk)
PADIT score (Birnie 2019): prior procedures, age, procedure type, depressed renal function, and immunocompromise give a 0–15 score banding cardiac-implantable-electronic-device infection risk (≥ 7 high).

Example
- Prior CIED procedures
- >= 2 prior (4)
- Age
- 55 years
- Procedure type
- CRT (4)
- Depressed renal function
- No
- Immunocompromised
- No
Result: PADIT score 10 — high infection risk (>= 7).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- 0-4
- Low cardiac-device infection risk.
- 5-6
- Intermediate risk.
- >= 7
- High risk. Prior procedures, age band, eGFR < 30, immunocompromised, procedure type. A risk score, not an antibiotic order.
What you enter
- Prior CIED procedures (0/1/≥2 points)
- Age
- Procedure type (points)
- Depressed renal function (eGFR < 30)
- Immunocompromised
