Injection drug use-related infective endocarditis (IDU-IE) and associated surgeries have increased dramatically, 1 with psychiatry often consulted to address an underlying substance use disorder. Surgical guidelines state that IE-related surgery should be performed for standard indications in people who inject drugs, and treatment should include management of addiction2 although management of IDU-IE remains controversial. While assessment and treatment of the underlying use disorder are key to managing IDU-IE, the whole role of psychiatry in clinical decision-making for patients with IDU-IE is unclear. The aim of the study was to describe clinical decision-making for patients with recurrent IDU-IE at US academic medical centers.We conducted a cross-sectional survey of infectious disease physicians from academic medical centers between March and September 2021 using the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) secure online platform. We investigated if a respondent was aware of any institutional policies or typical decision-making practices. Questions also focused on available hospital resources, team engagement in decision-making, influential psychosocial factors, and utilization of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Questions were multiple-choice with optional free-text entry. To describe our sample, we extracted hospitallevel data from the Vizient Clinical Data Base for fiscal year 2020 (Irving, TX; used with permission of Vizient, Inc, all rights reserved).
