Intravenous opioid use can lead to infective endocarditis (IE) which can result in stroke. There are scant data on recent trends in this neurological complication of opioid abuse. We hypothesized that increasing opioid abuse has led to a higher incidence of stroke associated with IE and opioid use.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods\u2014<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              We used the 1993 to 2015 releases of the National Inpatient Sample and validated\n              <jats:italic>International Classification of Diseases<\/jats:italic>\n              ,\n              <jats:italic>Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification<\/jats:italic>\n              codes (\n              <jats:italic>ICD-9-CM<\/jats:italic>\n              ) to identify hospitalizations with the combination of opioid abuse, IE, and stroke (defined as ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhage). Survey weights provided by the National Inpatient Sample were used to calculate nationally representative estimates and population estimates from the United States. Census data were used to calculate annual hospitalization rates per 10 million person-years.
