Assessment of Medical Cannabis and Health-Related Quality of Life.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The use of cannabis as a medicine is becoming increasingly prevalent. Given the diverse range of conditions being treated with medical cannabis, as well as the vast array of products and dose forms available, clinical evidence incorporating patient-reported outcomes may help determine safety and efficacy.

Objective

To assess whether patients using medical cannabis report improvements in health-related quality of life over time.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective case series study was conducted at a network of specialist medical clinics (Emerald Clinics) located across Australia. Participants were patients who received treatment for any indication at any point between December 2018 and May 2022. Patients were followed up every mean (SD) 44.
