Long-term Outcomes of Injection Drug-related Infective Endocarditis Among People Who Inject Drugs

摘要

Objectives: Infective endocarditis (IE) among people who inject drugs is associated with high rates of mortality and repeat episodes of endocarditis. We sought to report on longer-term clinical outcomes of patients with IE who were offered buprenorphine or methadone treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) at their initial hospital admission.
