The study found a strong correlation between the frequency of maternal marijuana use in the last month of pregnancy and quantified umbilical cord THC-COOH. Earlier use can be measured by either quantitative urine or serum assay.
Background and Aims To estimate during pregnancy correlations between frequency of self-reported use of marijuana and quantified marijuana metabolite in biospecimens including urine, sera and umbilical cord homogenate. Design Prospective cohort. Setting Two urban hospitals in Colorado with legal recreational and medicinal marijuana. Participants Pregnant women (<16 weeks gestation) self-reporting marijuana use. Measurements Participants completed a written self-report survey and provided biospecimens at <16 weeks gestation (n = 46), 18 to 22 weeks gestation (n = 43), 32 to 36 weeks gestation (n = 39), and delivery (n = 37). Self-reported marijuana use frequency was calculated based on past-month days of use multiplied by number of daily uses. Maternal urine and sera were tested for presence (>5 ng/mL) of 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-COOH). Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry quantified THC-COOH in umbilical cord homogenate (ng/g). Last marijuana use by any measure was recorded to evaluate the time frame over which THC-COOH remains detectable (>0.10 ng/g) in cord. Findings From December 2017 through May 2019, 51 pregnant women enrolled, and 46 were included in analyses (2 withdrew and 3 had a spontaneous abortion). The majority were normal weight, White or Black race, and insured by Medicaid. At the time of enrollment between 7 to 15 weeks' gestation, 87% had ongoing use by self-report, or positive urine or serum. The majority (33 [66%]) stopped using before delivery. Sera and urine results were strongly correlated with self-reported use frequency (Spearman correlation coefficient [r] range 0.70-0.87 across visits, P < 0.001), and with each other. There was only one positive cord result when use stopped before 22 weeks. Frequency of self-reported marijuana use at delivery had strong correlation with quantified cord THC-COOH (r = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.62-0.89). Conclusions Quantified umbilical cord THC-COOH appears to strongly correlate with frequency of maternal marijuana use in the last month of pregnancy. Earlier use can be measured by either quantitative urine or serum assay.
