    Abstract Background: Nationally, in states where cannabis has been legalized, increases in cannabis-related hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits have also been observed.
    Objectives: This study aims to: 1) Describe the sociodemographic characteristics of cannabis users presenting to two academic EDs in California; 2) Assess cannabis-related behaviors; 3) Assess perceptions of cannabis; 4) Identify and describe reasons for cannabis-related ED utilization.
    Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of patients visiting one of two academic EDs between February 16, 2018 and November 21, 2020. Eligible participants completed a novel questionnaire developed by the authors. Basic descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, and logistic regression were used for statistical analysis of responses.
    Results: The questionnaire was completed by 2577 patients. A quarter were categorized as Current Users (n = 628, 24.4%). Current, Regular Users were evenly divided across gender, were relatively younger (18-34 years, 48.1%), and were largely non-Hispanic Caucasian. Over half of all respondents believed that the use of cannabis was less harmful than tobacco or alcohol use (n = 1537, 59.6%). One in five Current Users (n = 123, 19.8%) reported driving while using cannabis in the past month. A small proportion (n = 24, 3.9%) of Current Users reported ever visiting the ED for a cannabis-related chief complaint.
    Conclusions: Overall, many ED patients are currently using cannabis; few report utilizing the ED due to cannabis-related problems. Current, Irregular Users may represent the ideal target group for ED-based educational efforts aimed at improving knowledge of safe cannabis use.

  2. Article: The political economy of state responses to infectious disease.

    Abstract How can public policy best deal with infectious disease? In answering this question, scholarship on the optimal control of infectious disease adopts the model of a benevolent social planner who maximizes social welfare. This approach, which treats the social health planner as a unitary "public health brain" standing outside of society, removes the policymaking process from economic analysis. This paper opens the black box of the social health planner by extending the tools of economics to the policymaking process itself. We explore the nature of the economic problem facing policymakers and the epistemic constraints they face in trying to solve that problem. Additionally, we analyze the incentives facing policymakers in their efforts to address infectious diseases and consider how they affect the design and implementation of public health policy. Finally, we consider how unanticipated system effects emerge due to interventions in complex systems, and how these effects can undermine well-intentioned efforts to improve human welfare. We illustrate the various dynamics of the political economy of state responses to infectious disease by drawing on a range of examples from the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract Background and Objectives: Risk stratification tools for febrile neutropenia exist but are infrequently utilized by emergency physicians. Procalcitonin may provide emergency physicians with a more objective tool to identify patients at risk of decompensation. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study evaluating the use of procalcitonin in cases of febrile neutropenia among adult patients presenting to the Emergency Department compared to a non-neutropenic, febrile control group. Our primary outcome measure was in-hospital mortality with a secondary outcome of ICU admission. Results: Among febrile neutropenic patients, a positive initial procalcitonin value was associated with significantly increased odds of inpatient mortality after adjusting for age, sex, race, and ethnicity (AOR 9.912, p < 0.001), which was similar, though greater than, our non-neutropenic cohort (AOR 2.18, p < 0.001). All febrile neutropenic patients with a positive procalcitonin were admitted to the ICU. Procalcitonin had a higher sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) in regard to mortality and ICU admission for our neutropenic group versus our non-neutropenic control. Conclusions: Procalcitonin appears to be a valuable tool when attempting to risk stratify patients with febrile neutropenia presenting to the emergency department. Procalcitonin performed better in the prediction of death and ICU admission among patients with febrile neutropenia than a similar febrile, non-neutropenic control group.

  5. Article ; Online: The effects of a morphine shortage on emergency department pain control.

    Abstract Objective: In 2018, due to a national morphine shortage, our two study emergency departments (EDs) were unable to administer intravenous (IV) morphine for over six months. We evaluated the effects of this shortage on analgesia and patient disposition.
    Methods: This was a retrospective study in two academic EDs. Our control period (with morphine) was 4/1/17-6/30/17 and our study period (without morphine) was 4/1/18-6/30/18. We included all adult patients with a chief complaint of pain, initial pain score ≥4, and ≥2 recorded pain scores. The primary outcome was delta pain score. Secondary outcomes included final pain score, proportion of ED visits with opioids vs. non-opioids administered, and ED disposition.
    Results: We identified 6296 patients during our control period and 5816 during our study period. There was no significant difference in mean final pain score (study 4.45, control 4.44, p = 0.802), delta pain score (study -3.30, control -3.32, p = 0.556), nor admission rates (study 18.8%, control 17.8%, p = 0.131). We saw a decrease in opioid use (study 47.4%, control 60.0%, p < 0.01) and an increased use of non-opioid analgesics (study 27.3%, control 18.44%, p < 0.01).
    Conclusions: Removing IV morphine in the ED, without a compensatory rise in alternative opioids, does not appear to significantly impact analgesia or disposition. These data favor a more limited opioid use strategy in the ED.

    Abstract Abstract The COVID-19 outbreak prompted governments around the world to employ a range of emergency methods to combat the pandemic. In many countries these emergency measures relied heavily on police powers, which refer to the capacity of governments to forcefully regulate behavior and impose order as defined by those in control of the state apparatus. Throughout the world police powers have been used to limit free association through government-imposed stay-at-home orders, impose social distancing rules, close non-essential businesses, and impose lockdowns. State orders have been enforced through various forms of direct monitoring, indirect surveillance, and in some instances, violence. We discuss the theoretical foundations of the troubling aspects of pandemic police states. We then catalog some pandemic police state activities associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. We conclude with the implications for peace studies.
