EE233 Economic and Procedural Burden of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome in the U.S. Emergency Department Setting: Unmet Need for a Diagnostic

Abstract

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) is a medical condition associated with daily long-term use of marijuana characterized by nausea, abdominal cramps, and cyclical vomiting which typically presents in the emergency department (ED) setting. There is currently no diagnostic or lab test for CHS. Diagnosis by exclusion is used to rule out other potential causes of vomiting and nausea. The purpose of this study was to understand the economic and procedural burden of CHS in the U.S. ED setting.
