Is dependent cannabis use in adult hospitalizations with inflammatory bowel disease associated with major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events? Insights from National Inpatient Sample Analysis

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and dependent cannabis use or cannabis use disorder (CUD+) are independent risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Usage of cannabis for pain increased in IBD patients. However, associated cardiovascular safety remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) associated with CUD + in hospitalized IBD patients.
