“Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with significant morbidity (sickness) and mortality (death).
Several studies have demonstrated neuroprotective effects of cannabinoids.
The objective of this study was to establish a relationship between the presence of a positive toxicology screen for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and mortality after TBI…
After adjusting for differences between the study cohorts on logistic regression, a THC(+) screen was independently associated with survival after TBI.
A positive THC screen is associated with decreased mortality in adult patients sustaining TBI.”
