CHS in pregnancy (Updated Data)

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS): Yep, this is definitely an issue and has been in recent print. This was just covered in an expert commentary in J Gastroenterology in May 2024, and CMS was featured as a JAMA Patient Page on October 10, 2024 in JAMA Network. PLUS, we actually covered this back in Feb 10th, 2020! Yep…M-O-R-E information just keeps coming, including a new study in the OCT 2024 Green Journal, which shows that rates of THC in pregnancy are still increasing. This study, again from THIS MONTH, tells us that the prevalence of prenatal cannabis use increased from 5.5% in 2012 to 9.0% in 2022 among pregnant individuals, at least according to the database from Northern California ( Kaiser Permanente Northern California). In this episode, we will update our previous discussion on CHS (from back in 2020) based on these new publications.
