We excluded patients with a length of stay &gt;2 days to focus on those discharged before conclusive blood culture results could have been available. Our outcome was hospitalization within 14 days with a new diagnosis of IE ( ICD-9-CM codes 391.1 or 421.x in any position).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 173 966 eligible patients, 24 were subsequently hospitalized for IE\u2014a readmission rate of 1.4 per 10 000 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.8-1.9 per 10 000).
