Researchers have found in a new study that patients of cannabis dependence have worse outcomes in Asthma exacerbations.The research was presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting 2020 held virtually due to COVID-19.
Recent changes in the legalization of recreational cannabis have increased its use by public at large but simultaneously has led to growing concerns about its safety and public health implications.
Cannabis use may have the risk of future respiratory complications in Asthma patients but till date, there has been no study examining the relationship between cannabis dependence (CD) and hospital admissions for asthma exacerbations (AE).
The present study was conducted solely aimed to examine the relationship between cannabis dependence and asthma exacerbations using the National Readmission Database.
