As of February 2022, 37 states and 4 territories have legalized medical marijuana, with 21 states having legalized it for recreational use. As such, cannabis is the third most used recreational substance in the United States, behind alcohol and tobacco, and a significant number of surgery patients are cannabis users (Karmen Hanson, 2022). Reconstructive surgeons should be aware of its potential complications, as cannabis has been linked to postoperative respiratory complications, thromboembolism, and sepsis (Teven & Song, 2021). Given the potential impacts of cannabis on reconstructive outcomes, the present letter describes a study that aims to characterize the effects of isolated baseline cannabis use on complications following flap reconstruction.The New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) database was queried between 2009 and 2013 to identify all patients who underwent flap reconstruction. SPARCS is a comprehensive, statewide database reporting system that tracks and collects de-identified patient characteristics, diagnoses, treatments, services, and charges for all inpatient and outpatient visits at Article 28 licensed hospitals in New York State. Diagnostic and procedural data are classified according to the International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision, Clinical Modifications (ICD-9-CM)(International Classification of Diseases, 1978). Patients were included if they were over the age of 18 and had ICD codes for flap reconstruction (86.7, 86.70, 86.71, 86.72, 86.73, and 86.74). Cohorts were created based on the presence or absence of baseline cannabis use. Propensity score matching was utilized for univariate and multivariate analysis of patient demographics, hospital-based parameters, comorbidities, and postoperative outcomes. Patients were excluded if they had concurrent substance use or abuse other than cannabis. Significance was set at α=. 05 and all data preparation and analysis was done with SAS.
