Cannabis use, other drug use, and risk of subsequent acute care in primary care patients.
This study evaluated whether self-reported frequency of cannabis or other drug use was associated with subsequent acute care. Using EHR and claims data from 8 sites in Washington State that implemented annual substance use screening, findings showed that those reporting cannabis use less than monthly or daily had greater risk of acute care during follow-up than those reporting no use. Patients reporting other drug use less than monthly, weekly, or daily had greater risk of acute care than those reporting no other drug use. It is unclear whether findings will generalize to U.S. states with broader racial/ethnic diversity.
