We aimed to elucidate the effect of Medical Cannabis (MC) on appetite and nutritional status among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A case series of patients with IBD were initiating treatment with MC for disease-related symptoms, at the IBD clinic of a tertiary referral medical center. Patients' demographics, anthropometrics, medical history and treatment and MC use were systematically recorded. An appetite and food frequency questionnaire (SNAQ and FFQ) were filled before, and at 3 and 6 months of treatment. Patients with IBD initiating MC were enrolled (n = 149, age 39.0 ± 14.1 years, 42.3% female), and 33.6% (n = 50) were treated for improvement of nutritional status. A modest increase in appetite after 3 months was detected among all patients enrolled (Pv = 0.08), but there were no significant differences in energy or macronutrient intake, and in patients' body mass index (BMI). A significant appetite improvement after 3 months was detected among 34.0% (n = 17) of patients, but this was not associated with increased caloric intake or BMI at 3 or 6 months. Among patients without increased appetite after 3 months of MC therapy, BMI decreased at 6 months (24.1 ± 3.7 vs. 23.4 ± 3.6, Pv = 0.010). MC may be a potential strategy to improve appetite among some patients with IBD, but not caloric intake or BMI.
我们旨在阐明医用大麻(MC)对炎症性肠病(IBD)患者食欲和营养状况的影响。在一家三级转诊医疗中心的 IBD 诊所,对因疾病相关症状而开始接受 MC 治疗的 IBD 患者进行了一项病例系列研究。系统地记录了患者的人口统计学、人体测量学、病史和治疗以及 MC 使用情况。在治疗前、治疗 3 个月和 6 个月时填写了食欲和食物频率问卷(SNAQ 和 FFQ)。招募了开始使用 MC 的 IBD 患者(n = 149,年龄 39.0 ± 14.1 岁,42.3%为女性),其中 33.6%(n = 50)为改善营养状况而接受治疗。所有入组患者的食欲在 3 个月后均有适度增加(Pv = 0.08),但能量或宏量营养素摄入以及患者的体重指数(BMI)均无显著差异。在 34.0%(n = 17)的患者中,3 个月后食欲显著改善,但这与 3 个月或 6 个月时热量摄入或 BMI 的增加无关。在接受 MC 治疗 3 个月后食欲没有增加的患者中,6 个月时 BMI 下降(24.1 ± 3.7 与 23.4 ± 3.6,Pv = 0.010)。MC 可能是改善一些 IBD 患者食欲的潜在策略,但不能增加热量摄入或 BMI。
