Abstract
Introduction: Prevalence rates for cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) across demographic groups remain unclear.
Methods: We used data from the Massachusetts Center for Health Information and Analysis to estimate the rates of CHS from 2012 - 2021, across > 15 million emergency department (ED) visits and demographic groups.
Results: CHS cases per 10,000 ED visits increased from 0.729 to 10.6 in Massachusetts (2012-2021). Individuals aged 18-34 experienced the fastest rise in CHS prevalence, with young adults, Hispanic individuals, Black individuals, and males having the overall highest 10-year prevalence.
Discussion: Younger adults, Hispanic individuals and Black individuals may be at higher risk for presenting with CHS.
