Key result
Staphylococcus aureus accounts for ~40% of complex CIED infections with similar costs across organisms.
Cohort (n=50)
CIED infections carry a significant economic burden primarily due to inpatient costs, which do not vary significantly by the infecting organism.

Supports targeted S. aureus prevention in complex CIED infections; leaves open whether organism-specific interventions reduce costs or improve outcomes.
(40.0%). There is significant economic burden, mostly related to inpatient costs, associated with CIED infections. However, there were no significant differences in costs stratified by organism.

King et al. (2024) conducted a cohort in Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections (n=50). Staphylococcus aureus was the most common causative organism of complex cardiac implantable electronic device infections, accounting for 40.0% of cases, with no significant differences in costs stratified by organism.
