Abstract
The estimated number of people who use injection drugs in the US has more than quadrupled since 2010. Injecting drugs places individuals at risk for infectious diseases that result from viruses and bacteria entering the bloodstream when using non-sterile paraphernalia. One serious sequalae is infective endocarditis (IE), an infection of the endocardium of the heart commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, for which incidence has risen substantially in recent years.1 Prior epidemiologic work has found IE hospitalizations associated with injection drug use were highest among people who were younger, male, White, and had lower incomes.1 However, the previous research examined hospitalizations by singular sociodemographic categories, potentially masking subgroup heterogeneity.
