Lifetime Smoking History and Marijuana co-use in Patients With Alcohol-related Acute Pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Smoking increases the risk of the first episode of acute pancreatitis (AP), its recurrence, and progression to chronic pancreatitis. Co-use of cigarettes with marijuana may exacerbate health risks, complicating pancreatitis management. Our study aims to investigate the lifetime smoking history and co-use of cigarettes and marijuana in AP patients.

Methods

We analyzed smoking history and marijuana use data from a multicenter case-crossover study of alcohol-associated AP patients (n=145) recruited from June 2020 to June 2024. Lifetime cigarette use was categorized as: history of smoking <1 pack-per day [PPD], ≥1 PPD, and non-smokers. Age-based smoking prevalence was estimated across two birth cohorts (1956-1979 and 1980-1998). Risk factors for co-use were also asses
