The use of cannabis has massively increased among younger patients due to increasing legalization and availability.
We performed a retrospective nationwide study using the Nationwide inpatient sample (NIS) database to analyze the trends of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in young cannabis users and related outcomes among patients aged 18-49 years from 2007 to 2018, using ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes.
Out of 819,175 hospitalizations, 230,497 (28%) admissions reported using cannabis. There was a significantly higher number of males (78.08% vs. 71.58%, p < 0.0001) and African Americans (32.22% vs. 14.06%, p < 0.0001) admitted with AMI and reported cannabis use. The incidence of AMI among cannabis users consistently increased from 2.36% in 2007 to 6.55% in 2018. Similarly, the risk of AMI in cannabis users among all races increased, with the biggest increase in African Americans from 5.69% to 12.25%. In addition, the rate of AMI in cannabis users among both sexes showed an upward trend, from 2.63% to 7.17% in males and 1.62%-5.12% in females.
The incidence of AMI in young cannabis users has increased in recent years. The risk is higher among males and African Americans.
由于大麻合法化程度提高且获取更加容易,大麻在年轻患者中的使用量大幅增加。
我们使用全国住院样本(NIS)数据库进行了一项全国性回顾性研究,利用国际疾病分类第九版(ICD - 9)和国际疾病分类第十版(ICD - 10)编码,分析2007年至2018年18至49岁年轻大麻使用者急性心肌梗死(AMI)的趋势及相关结果。
在819,175例住院病例中,230,497例(28%)入院患者报告使用过大麻。因AMI入院且报告使用过大麻的男性(78.08%对71.58%,p < 0.0001)和非裔美国人(32.22%对14.06%,p < 0.0001)数量显著更多。大麻使用者中AMI的发病率从2007年的2.36%持续上升至2018年的6.55%。同样,所有种族中大麻使用者发生AMI的风险均增加,非裔美国人增加幅度最大,从5.69%增至12.25%。此外,大麻使用者中男女AMI发生率均呈上升趋势,男性从2.63%升至7.17%,女性从1.62%升至5.12%。
近年来年轻大麻使用者中AMI的发病率有所上升。男性和非裔美国人的风险更高。
