Hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of PD or schizophrenia were selected based on Clinical Classification Software diagnostic single-level 659. Episodes associated with CU were identified by the International Classification of Diseases Version 9, Clinical Modification code 304.3\/305.2 that correspond to cannabis dependence\/cannabis abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt;color: #0000ff\">Results<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt;color: #0000ff\">The number of hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of PD and schizophrenia associated with CU rose 29.4 times during the study period, from 20 to 588 hospitalizations yearly (2000 and 2015, respectively) with a total of 3,233 hospitalizations and an average episode cost of \u20ac3,500. Male patients represented 89.8% of all episodes, and the mean\/median age at discharge were 30.66\/29.00 years, respectively.
