Mining pharmacovigilance signals for asthma adverse events in underage population based on the FAERS database / 药物流行病学杂志

Objective To conduct data mining of asthma-inducing medications in underage populations based on the U.S.Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System(FAERS)database,so as to provide reference for the clinical application of related medications.Methods Adverse drug event(ADE)reports from the first quarter of 2013 to the fourth quarter of 2022 in the FAERS database were collected and screened for reports of asthma adverse events in the this population(under 18 years old),which were categorized into infants,toddlers,children,and adolescents according to different age groups,and were subjected to medication signal mining by using the reporting odds ratio method,the composite standardized method,and the information component method.Results A total of 1 915 reports were obtained after screening,involving 1 042(54.41％)males and 831(43.39％)females;the highest percentage of the reporting population was between 12 and under 18 years old,with a total of 762(39.79％);60.78％of the reports were reported by health professionals;and the results of the clinical referrals showed that serious adverse events occurred in 85.90％of the cases.306 suspected drugs were screened,52 drugs were determined to be valid signals,and 1 044 adverse events were reported,of which 16 drug inserts did not mention the risk of asthma,in order of elosulfatase alpha,canakinumab,tobramycin,vancomycin,ceftriaxone,cetirizine,phenylephrine,imiglucerase,cefuroxime,betamethasone,atropine,tadalafil,riscovastatin,cyclophosphamide,octreotide,and omeprazole.Conclusion The FAERS database was mined for adverse drug event signals and evaluated using the proportional disequilibrium method to identify 16 medicines that may trigger pharmacogenetic asthma and are not documented in the specification,which can be used to provide a good early warning for the clinic.At the same time,focusing on special populations,strengthening the assessment of lung function before medication and monitoring during and after medication,timely interventions were taken to reduce the harm of drug-derived adverse reactions and ensure the safe use of medication.

Data mining of hematological adverse events related to antibody-drug conjugate based on FAERS / 药物流行病学杂志

Objective Based on the U.S.Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System(FAERS)database,data mining was conducted on hematological adverse events related to antibody drug conjugates(ADC),providing reference for the safe use of ADC drugs in clinical practice.Methods The report data from the third quarter of 2011 to the fourth quarter of 2022 were retrieved from the FAERS database.After data cleaning such as deduplication and name standardization,extract hematological adverse events related to ADC,and use report odds ratio method and the information component method for signal detection.Results A total of 101 610 adverse event reports were extracted,with 8 ADC drugs as the primary suspected drugs,and 5 768 ADC related hematological adverse event reports.Among them,3 423 cases of agranulocytosis were involved,and the signal intensity from strong to weak were sacituzumab govitecan(SG),gemtuzumab ozogamicin(GO),brentuximab vedotin(BV),polatuzumab vedotin(PV),enfortumab vedotin(EV),trastuzumab deruxtecan(TD),inotuzumab ozogamicin(IO)and ado-trastuzumab emtansine(TDM-1).There were 2 327 cases hematopoietic cell deficiency,with signals ranging from strong to weak were IO,SG,BV,EV,PV,TD,TDM-1,and GO.Report with clinical outcome of death of ADC drug related hematological adverse events included BV 179(16.84％),TDM-1 102(13.01％),TD 88(27.08％),GO 12(16.90％),IO 8(11.59％),EV 54(24.32％),PV 22(27.16％),and SG 84(21.05％).Adverse event time analysis showed that the number of events on the first day of TD,IO,and SG medication accounts for ≥ 40％of the total number of cases.The median time of hematological adverse events in TD,GO,IO,EV,PV,and SG was within one treatment course(21 days).Conclusion Attention should be paid to the risk of ADC drug-related hematological adverse event,during the clinical medication process,blood cell count changes should be closely monitored,and any abnormalities should be promptly diagnosed and treated.

Mining and analysis for adverse drug event signals of liver failure in underage population based on the FAERS database / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To conduct data mining on drugs causing liver failure in underage populations based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System （FAERS） database， so as to provide reference for clinical use of related drugs. METHODS The data on reported adverse drug event （ADE） of liver failure in this population （under 18 years old） from the first quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2022 were retrieved from the FAERS database for mining and analysis； they were divided into infants（≤1 year old）， young children（＞1-＜6 years old）， children（6-＜12 years old） and adolescents（12-＜18 years old） according to the age. The reporting odds ratio （ROR）， proportional reporting ratio and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network of the proportional imbalance method were used to screen ADE signals. RESULTS A total of 1 051 ADE reports of liver failure were collected from the underage population involving 60 drugs. The highest incidence was found in adolescents （410 cases， 39.01%）， followed by young children （297 cases， 28.26%）. The instructions of 14 drugs did not mention hepatobiliary system injury and liver failure risk， including 31 cases of levetiracetam （2.95%），18 cases of metronidazole （1.71%）， 16 cases of each of topiramate and methylprednisolone （1.52% each）， 12 cases of dexamethasone （1.14%）， 11 cases of tisagenlecleucel （1.05%）， 10 cases of each of ferrous sulfate， metformin and busulfan （0.95% each）， 9 cases of propofol （0.86%）， 8 cases of onasemnogene abeparvovec （0.76%）， 5 cases of each of diphenhydramine and omeprazole （0.48% each）， 4 cases of sebeliesterase α （0.38%）， totaling 165 cases， accounting for 15.70% of the total reported cases. Metformin was contrary to the known liver safety， and E-mail：libingchemical@163.com metronidazole and levetiracetam were new risk signals， which caused more serious clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Fourteen new pharmacovigilance signals which cause liver failure in the underage population are found in this study； the liver function of patients should be closely monitored when using these drugs. Among those drugs， metformin neither undergoes liver metabolism nor has been reported in the relevant literature， and the liver-related ADE caused by metformin deserves further attention. The clinical outcomes caused by metronidazole and levetiracetam are relatively serious and need to be given sufficient attention.

Comparative Analysis of Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Type I Incision before and after Antimicrobial Drug Special Rectification in Our Hospital / 中国药师

Objective:To investigate the improvement in antibiotics use in our hospital by comparing the prophylactic application of antibiotics in type I incision before and after antimicrobial drug special rectification. Methods:The medical records of 100 hospital-ized patients undergoing I incision respectively from May to December in 2011 (before the rectification), from May to December in 2012 ( during the rectification) and from May to December in 2013 ( after the rectification) were withdrawn randomly. The prophylactic application of antibiotics was statistically and comparatively analyzed. Results: After the antimicrobial drug special rectification, the prophylactic application rate of antibiotics was reduced from 100% to 28%, and in 7 kinds of operations stressed by the National Health and Family Planning Commission ( inguinal hernia repair, thyroid disease, breast disease, arthroscopy, carotid endarterectomy, skull tumor resection and endovascular interventional diagnosis) , the prophylactic use rate of antimicrobial drugs was reduced to 11%. The variety choice of antibiotics in type I incision was more reasonable. The irrationality rate of medication time and course was de-creased obviously, and the accuracy of dosage and usage was improved significantly. The combination of antibiotics was also notably decreased. Conclusion:The antimicrobial drug special rectification is effective, which can significantly improve the prophylactic appli-cation rationality of antibiotics for type I incision in our hospital.
