- W2980115463 abstract "INTRODUCTION: Injection drug use [IDU] is a well-known risk factor for both infective endocarditis [IE] and hepatitis C virus [HCV] infections. In parallel with the opioid epidemic, the incidence of both infections has increased in recent years. In this retrospective study, the impact of HCV on mortality of people who inject drugs [PWID] with IE is assessed. METHODS: Electronic medical records of adult patients diagnosed with IE according to modified Duke criteria from January 2012 through May 2018 at an academic tertiary medical center were analyzed. Patients were identified as PWID based on IDU documentation within 3 months of admission. The study included all patients with a positive HCV antibody. Patients were then stratified into two groups: “Positive HCV viremia” [positive HCV antibody and viral load] or “Negative HCV viremia” [positive HCV antibody but negative viral load]. Prior HCV treatment, HIV infection, and absence of documented HCV seropositivity precluded study enrollment. Pertinent demographic, clinical, laboratory, microbiologic, and outcome data were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: One hundred and twenty-nine PWID with IE were identified, of whom 110 [85.2%] had a positive HCV antibody. Of these, 23 patients were excluded due to lack of testing for viral RNA. , resulting in 87 HCV study patients [67.4%]. Fifty-three [61.0%] patients had viremia and 34 [39.1%] did not. Of the 87 study patients, 85.1% were Caucasian and 52.9% were female with a median age of 25. Six [6.9%] patients had previous IE. The most commonly injected drug was prescription opioids [69.0%]. The tricuspid valve was involved in 56.3% of patients and the most common pathogen was Staphylococcus aureus [71.3%]. Prescription opioid injection, S. aureus infection, tricuspid valve involvement, and 10-week mortality did not differ between the viremic and non-viremic HCV groups [Table 1]. CONCLUSION: While several host and clinical factors affect mortality in PWID with IE, HCV viremia does not appear to increase mortality. However, larger, prospective studies will be required to better delineate the significance of HCV viremia among PWID with IE." @default.
