Notes: Showing all (all-causalities) AEs with ≥1% incidence by SOC and preferred term, and the corresponding treatment-related rates.

a

Causality as assigned by prescriber; does not include instances where causality was not provided.

b

Per year of THC:CBD exposure, calculated by dividing the number of patients reporting the AE by the total patient-years of THC:CDB exposure in the Registry (2,213.98 years). The bold entries denote the SOC, the nonbold text beneath each are preferred terms within that SOC.

Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; CBD, cannabidiol; MedDRA, Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities; SOC, system organ class; THC, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol.
