ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Acid suppression has been associated with adverse events; such as, enteric infections. Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are frequently prescribed in patients with cirrhosis, but is unclear if PPI are associated with the development of bacterial infections in these patients.

OBJECTIVE:

To assess the impact of PPI intake on the development of bacterial, viral and fungal infections in patients with cirrhosis.

METHODS:

An observational, retrospective, historic cohort study. The exposed cohort included patients with cirrhosis with chronic use of PPI. The non-exposed cohort had not been using PPI. The follow-up period was 3 years, searching in the medical records for any events of bacterial infection confirmed by bacteriological culture.

RESULTS:

One hundred and thirteen patients met the selection criteria, 44 (39%) had chronic use of PPI; of them, 28 (63.6%) patients had not a clear clinical indication to justify the prescription of PPI. Twenty four (21.2%) patients developed bacterial infections during the follow-up period. In the univariate analysis, decompensated cirrhosis (Child B/C), presence of ascites, history of variceal bleeding, and chronic consumption of PPI were risk factors related to the development of infections. But, in the adjusted multivariate analysis only the chronic use of PPI was associated with development of infections (RR=3.6; 95% CI=1.1-12.3; P=0.04).

CONCLUSION:

There is an over-prescription of PPI without a justified clinical indication. The long-term consumption of PPI in patients with cirrhosis is associated with the development of bacterial infections; therefore these drugs must be carefully prescribed in this specific population.
RESUMO
RESUMO

CONTEXTO:

A supressão de ácido tem sido associada a efeitos adversos, tais como infecções entéricas. Inibidores da bomba protônica são frequentemente prescritos em pacientes com cirrose, mas não está claro se o inibidor de bomba de próton (IBP) está associado ao desenvolvimento de infecções bacterianas nesses pacientes.

OBJETIVO:

Avaliar o impacto da ingestão de IBP no desenvolvimento de infecção bacteriana, viral e fúngica em pacientes com cirrose.

MÉTODOS:

Foi realizado estudo de coorte observacional, retrospectivo, histórico. A coorte exposta incluiu pacientes com cirrose e com uso crônico de IBP. A coorte de não expostos não estava usando IBP. O período de seguimento foi de 3 anos, procurando-se nos registros médicos qualquer evento de infecção bacteriana, confirmada pela cultura bacteriológica.

RESULTADOS:

Cento e treze pacientes preencheram os critérios de seleção, 44 (39%) pacientes faziam uso crônico de IBP; deles, 28 (63,6%) não tinham uma indicação clínica clara para justificar a prescrição de IBP. Vinte e quatro (21,2%) pacientes desenvolveram infecções bacterianas durante o período de seguimento. Na análise univariada, cirrose descompensada (Child B/C), presença de ascite, história de hemorragia varicosa e consumo crônico de IBP foram fatores de risco relacionados ao desenvolvimento de infecções. Porém, na análise multivariada ajustada, somente o uso crônico de IBP foi associado ao desenvolvimento de infecções (RR=3,6; 95% CI = 1.1-12.3; P=0,04).

CONCLUSÃO:

Há uma prescrição excessiva de PPI sem uma indicação clínica justificada. O consumo de longo prazo do IBP em pacientes com cirrose é associado ao desenvolvimento de infecções bacterianas. Portanto, essas drogas devem ser cuidadosamente prescritas nesta população específica.
