背景和目的阿片类药物使用障碍(OUD)的一个可怕的并发症是静脉用药相关性感染性心内膜炎(IDU-IE)。方法采用描述性统计方法对29例住院的IDU-IE患者进行药物辅助治疗。结果9例(31.0%)在住院期间成功启动丁丙诺啡维持治疗，9例(31.0%)接受出院后转介至美沙酮维持治疗。共有11人(37.9%)的MAT下降。讨论和结论住院可能是吸引IDU-IE患者发起MAT.科学意义的一个重要机会本研究为吸引住院的IDU-IE患者启动MAT提供了初步支持。(Am J Addit 2016；25：191-194)
Background and ObjectivesA feared complication of opioid use disorder (OUD) is intravenous drug use related infective endocarditis (IDU-IE). We report on our experience engaging hospitalized IDU-IE patients to initiate medication-assisted treatment (MAT).MethodsA retrospective study (n=29) using descriptive statistics.ResultsOverall, 9 (31.0%) successfully initiated buprenorphine maintenance during the hospitalization, and 9 (31.0%) accepted a referral to methadone maintenance following discharge. Eleven (37.9%) declined MAT altogether.Discussion and ConclusionsHospitalizations may represent an important opportunity to engage IDU-IE patients to initiate MAT.Scientific SignificanceThe study provides preliminary support of engaging hospitalized IDU-IE patients to initiate MAT.
