The Associative Impact of Recreational Cannabis Use on Sinonasal Diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

With growing cannabis use in the US, it is crucial to understand the impact of recreational use on sinonasal diseases like chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), allergic rhinitis (AR), and chronic rhinitis (CR).

Methods

This cross-sectional study leveraged the NIH AllOfUs database to query patient surveys assessing cannabis usage frequency (lifetime never, monthly, weekly, or daily within the past 3 months) and consumption route (smoking or non-smoking). Cannabis users were matched to never users for demographics, healthcare visit frequency, and insurance. A stringent logistic regression model calculated odds ratios (OR) of developing AR, CRS, or CR after survey completion. Cox regression hazard ratios (HR) compared consumption routes.

Results

Twenty-five thousand
